The Wetsuit Revolution
Two unlikely entrepreneurs are transforming cold-water surfing.
He lives off the grid in Hawaii with his wife and kids, his kiteboard, his organic garden, and his stoner buddies, 3,000 miles away from the Hollywood studios that never stop calling. No wonder Woody's pretty much a walking, talking ray of sunshine. Until he's not.
The world's most famous chef didn't cut an easy path to glory – dodging an abusive father, then making his name in London's most merciless kitchens. These days, Ramsay is a doting family man and gentler TV presence, but he still answers to the rules of the jungle, where rivals are vanquished and nothing gets in the way of another Michelin star.

Fight Fatigue With Energy Foods
Energy for Sale
Herbs and Supplements continued...
Of the herbs used for energy, ginseng probably has the most research, but the studies are contradictory, says Haggans. Plus, she says there are different types of ginseng, and the investigators don't always make it clear what kind was used in studies.
Asian ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng, is generally known as a stimulant and has been used by older people seeking more energy, says Andrew Weil, author of 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. The Asian variety also has a reputation as a sexual enhancer for men and has been used to improve athletic performance.
American ginseng, on the other hand, is used more as a tonic and is known to increase immunity over time, says Weil.
The herbs guarana and yerba mate are rich sources of caffeine. They stimulate the central nervous system, much like coffee does. The caffeine "may be helpful for mental alertness and possibly for weight loss," says Haggans. But there have not been many studies on the herbs, separate from the effects of caffeine.
Rhodiola rosea has been used in Sweden and Denmark as an anti-fatigue supplement. There is some evidence it improves aspects of mental and physical performance, but other than that, we don't know a lot about the herb, says Haggans.
Rhodiola is often combined with cordyceps mushroom, another herb that has had little scientific research. Cordyceps mushroom by itself and the combined formula of cordyceps and rhodiola have been tested on athletic performance, and the results have been contradictory.
There are benefits to taking cordyceps mushroom, says Weil. It can reportedly provide energy to older people who have been debilitated by age or illness and to young athletes who need a boost in performance.
If you are considering the use of an herb or a supplement, it's best to first check with your doctor. Some plant compounds, no matter how natural, can interact with drugs and may have some adverse effects.
Asian ginseng, for example, can raise blood pressure in those that are prone to hypertension, says Weil. Plus, Haggans says a recent study suggests the herb may reduce the effect of Coumadin (a blood thinner) and other drugs. There are also observational reports that yerba mate, when used in large amounts or for prolonged periods, may cause cancer in the gastrointestinal tract.
Keep in mind, herbs are presumed to be safe until proven harmful. They are regulated more like foods, as opposed to drugs, says Haggans. The dietary supplement ephedra, used for weight loss or athletic performance, is one example of a plant compound that was pulled from the market following numerous reports of death and injury.
The Bottom Line on Energy Products
Energy bars, drinks, herbs, and supplements may be helpful in some instances, but they are not sure-fire remedies for fatigue. And don't assume that any of this stuff is inherently healthy. If you're just lying around the house, you really don't need a high calorie energy bar, nor do you need to fret about your electrolyte balance. Experts say you should just concentrate on a well-balanced diet.
"As long as you are eating a variety of foods -- in the spirit of the food guide pyramid -- you're going to be able to meet your nutrient needs," says Moore. "As long as you do that, your body is going to be able to carry out all of its functions in terms of transferring food into fuel with complete accuracy."
If a healthy diet is not helping with energy needs, examine the amount of sleep, exercise, and stress in your life. These factors, plus diseases and medications, can affect energy levels.

It is incredible to think I was terribly, terribly sick in this photo, for when I see it, all I remember is the great joy and love I felt on this day.
After a night of violent vomiting I was weak in bed, half-watching strange Indian television, when Shyamdas came in to check on me. He sat on the side of the bed, along with Carla and Bettina, and held my hand, made me laugh and told me I must find the strength to hike with them today to a very special place. Somehow I did. And that afternoon at the Jain temples, in the gorgeous golden sun and clear, blue skies, I was surrounded by a sense of love and peace that is still very much with me.
Thank you, Shyamdasji.

Cute courtyard with pool and jacuzzi
Blood splatter on the lamp shade
Great staff, friendly and always ready to help! Nice athmosphere in the motel.
The rooms are quite dark, the equipment is basic and the situation is not very central, although close to a metro station. The area is also nothing special.
Very helpful and friendly staff, great location
If you have less time and you want visit the big city that is a great spot. The parking is always available and if you don't want use the car, you have the metro and the bus near for downtown, or walk of fame. The room was clean and the stuff gentile.
The room was hot and the conditioner made a lot of noise. It's a sin because the room was quiet.
Location, free parking, laundry facilities, fridge and hairdryer
A nice place to stay in LA, close to a big store and to Hollywood Blvd. Room is clean and comfortable. There is a fridge and the chance to use a microwave (and also plates, etc.) in the common area. Staff was always ready to help.
- Great location, excellent and friendly receptionists. They even lended us a metro card (with fare) when we asked for help going to Universal Studios. - Very close to a metro station, so it's very easy to arrive at Universal Studios and Hollywood Walk of Fame. - Right near a supermarket and a bunch of stores, so it's really convenient to get groceries just walking there. - The pool was great!
Not really a bad thing, but a warning: be prepared if you're driving and coming from route 1 to this motel; we were stuck in traffic for and hour and a half (L.A. is full of traffic jams) starting from Santa Monica Boulevard. Perhaps there's a better route, but sadly we weren't aware of it...
proximity to Hollywood
motel needs an urgent upgrade.
good location clean room friendly staff
Location, cleanliness, facilities like spa, pool, laundry, bar fridge, safe. Super friendly and helpful staff.
Nothing, it was value for money, a little outdated but suited our needs for a safe and comfortable place to sleep and relax.
Located right next to a shopping mall, (not too busy) Just around the corner is Thai Town Great access to public transport (metro across the road and bus on our side of the street <50 metres
Walking through to the room during the day was a bit tricky when the housekeeping staff were inside one of the rooms having breakfast (and their housekeeping cart blocking majority of the walk way)
The room was comfortable and clean. The bed was firm. Easy to get the metro from this location.
The hotel was quite old (in need of a reno) and the room was very small but we didn't spend much time in the room so this relaly didn't matter too much. The staff were very helpful - Thank-you!
location in Hollywood close to freeway & metro and next to good, cheap restaurants and supermarket, staff, the spa & pool, the common area with microwave oven, PC (the staff will print boarding passes) and laundry facilities. Couldn't ask for more!
clean and friendly staff a good walk to disneyland from there.
Beds are a bit hard and not thick pillows. Not much option for breakfast one cereal and sweet bakery goods
Really fair price. Comfy and clean. Welcoming looking atmosphere, lots of greenery and flowers. Modest but well kept. Conveniently located near downtown LA. Felt safe staying here. Ralphs (open late for snack attacks), Starbucks, Jamba juice and a few other eateries just next door.
It's nothing to fancy,just keep that in mind.
Excellent customer service at front desk Good location
The location near public transport was excellent. We drove there and it was easy to find and had free parking. The front desk were kind and helpful. The pool and jacuzzi were fun. Has a 1960s old LA vibe. Do not be put off by first appearances.
There is not a lot of privacy and the rooms are a bit old and tired but that was part of the charm. When in the room, it was quiet and rstful.
Clean place. very resonable price. Good location
the refrigerator in the room very noisy and kind of smell fromprobably from the wood that you need to get used to but you do.
Very good location comparing with the price. It is almost within the walking distance to Chinese Theater.
Location Pretty vintage-y courtyard with pool and garden Helpful recommendations by front desk staff person to go see Griffith Observatory (THANK YOU - awesome!)
Could use some updating and fresh coat of paint Bags of garbage sitting in walkways used by guests
Very clean hotel at a very decent price. Free parking available at the back of the hotel.
No elevator, so it might be difficult if you have bulky items since the stairway is pretty narrow.
Solo traveller, had a hire car. Observery at the end of the street, public transport close, supermarket next door rocks!
Good location and price
I tried to find affordable hotel close to Beverly Hills and the Hole of Fame and I chose Coral sands. It's 8.0 on booking.com is pretty fair.
It's motel and if you haven't had such an experience you shouldn't judge it by hotel's standards. Try it and you'll like it.
location is good, close to subway and a superstore
unstable wifi

I see other people being able to do it, but for some reason, when I try and hit 'post update' it pauses for a second and then I get a white screen of death…on your site…lol.

1 st half of the Women's Bronze Medal Game
As a huge fan of wheelchair basketball it is fun watching the Netherlands setting screens, making it impossible for the USA women to get out to the shooter. If the game were to end right now I can almost guarantee that Coach Kiley would say the USA didn't match the Netherlands intensity. They couldn't match the shooting performance the whole team is putting on. But that's why they play two halves. The USA Women are down 38-24 at half. Come back to Wheels in Motion for a end of the game comments and make sure you let me know what you thought of the game. Make sure you check out the second half at this link.

The Neuton CE 5.2 Battery Powered Lawn Mower in the Test Lab
When it comes to routine lawn care, we usually have a gardener that comes around once every two weeks; however, we've been weighing the option of doing it all ourselves. So, when the fine folks at Neuton offered to lend us one of their battery powered lawn mowers to review, we jumped at the chance. Not only is it eco-friendly (no need to fill up on gas or oil), but it's surprisingly easy to assemble and even easier to use...
The biggest pros? It's extremely quiet compared to the more traditional lawn mowers--we were able to listen to our iPod while working, which is something even our Dyson drowns out. Also, since the motor is emission-free, you can breathe without sucking in fumes. And of course, the mower is cordless to provide the freedom of mowing anywhere. Handling the mower is fairly easy, and the mower itself is pretty light. Changing the cutting heights is extremely easy--just position the lever to the desired height (listed in inches).
There are three options available for dealing with the grass clippings: mulching, bagging, or discharging. We tested out the latter two options (we had some difficulty putting the mulching plug and then gave up). The mesh bag that the Neuton comes with is handy, but a bit messy as grass clippings can get caught in the webbing and not pile as efficiently.
Finally, assembling the mower looks complicated at first, but trust us when we say this: it's pretty easy aside from the mulching plug.
The cons: The Neuton CE 5.2 is the smaller of the 2 options, and the cutting path is pretty small (about 14 inches), so if you have a lot of yard, it may take you a little bit longer. The battery lasts for about an hour after charging.

C'mon AT - this lawn mower is so yuppie environmentalist! Go to Home Depot and by yourself a non-motorized reel mower for 70 bucks if you want to be green. It's more environmentally friendly than this electricity eater and has the added benefit of making you get out and burn some calories while you mow. Then you can take the $450 it costs for the "Neuton" and the $100 a month you spend at the gym and donate them to a really green cause like Good Will.
My gardner comes twice a month. Good idea B squared on the traditional mower. I may get one and use it on the inbetween weeks for maintenance.
I have that mower and love it.
It will, however, not remain the same vibrant orange and green without constant cleaning, something i dont think a lawn mower deserves
We have a Neuton and love it. Maybe it is a "yuppie" choice for mowing, but we have a fairly large garden, and the reel mower we own was requiring a lot more strength than we had after the other physical labour we do around the house. Also, we use the mower both to mow the lawn and to chop up garden waste for our compost piles, which a reel mower just cannot do properly.
We got a spare battery and edging kit; the battery is very useful and the edging kit is handy, although we don't really have the sort of yard that requires a lot of edging.
Had we not gotten this particular mower, our other option was a corded electric mower. Having used both, I'd say the cord-free is definitely worth it.
Ditto B square,
I did just that. And these new manuals are light and easy to maintain and yes it gets this old broad out and about. Although I ordered mine on the web from a green site. I'd rather give them the money. Didn't cost much, free delivery and I put it together in less than 10 minutes.
My husband and I began our home ownership with a push mower and our laziness got the best of us. The yard quickly got out of control thus was very difficult to mow with just man power. We then received a refurbished version of this mower as a gift and never looked back. The only problem we had was a short battery life so we called customer service and got it replaced for no charge at all. And I'm serious when I say this mower purrs.

The New Balance 1500 are a classic pair of shoes with great style. These retro sneaks, part of the "Elite Edition" pack, have a relaxed feel that is not too snug or loose, making them perfect for everyday wear.
Their sporty, yet casual look with the New Balance branding on the sides, tongue, and heel make them easy to match all attire from jeans to jerseys with, which comes in especially handy when you need a pair of kicks to readily put on when you're in a rush to get out the door.
The nubuck leather upper makes them comfortable and durable, while the solid white rubber outsole provides feet with the necessary traction they need. Also included in their construction is a mesh material throughout strategic locations so when you're putting your feet to the test, these shoes can handle it.

I'm sorry I've been MIA for a couple days. I just had a lot going on. A wedding, my child's first birthday party and a house full of out of town guests. Look I said I'm sorry! You know I don't get paid for this right? I do this out of the kindness of my heart. You should get down on your knees and kiss my feet every day you get to enjoy my news. Look I'm sorry, that last part might have been a little bit too far. God I said I'm sorry! What do you want from me?! You're such a prick sometimes!
We're a few months away from Halloween but the good folks overt at Universal Studios have dropped word that both "The Walking Dead" and "Silent Hill" will be featured in this year's Halloween Horror Nights. No word yet on what the attractions will be just yet but if I was to guess I'd think for "The Walking Dead" you'll just chase a little kid around a farm for 2 hours and eventually get killed because his stupid ass won't stay in the house.
Despite earlier word that there was no chance in hell the film was going to happen it looks like Guillermo del Toro is very much looking forward to making "Hellboy 3". In a recent interview the ever busy director let loose that him and Ron Perlman are together and trying to make the flick happen. He also went on to say that he's still very much interested in making "At The Mountains Of Madness". He also confirmed that there is in fact an Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and he owns a Unicorn.
The good folks over at Showtime are teaming up with the gang that brought you "Hung" for a new supernatural thriller series titled "Sleep No More". No word on filming or air dates but the series will focus on a small town where the dead continue to return from the grave. I can't stop giggling over "Hung".
"Community" star Gillian Jacobs has signed on to costar with Ken Marino in a new horror/comedy titled "Milo". The project follows Duncan, played by Marino, a guy who thinks he has a demon living inside his stomach that's causing all his ailments. I thought the same thing the last time I ate at Denny's. Moons Over My Hammy. Am I right?
I know I've only been a parent for a year now but I'd like to think I'll never get to the point where I lock my little bundle of joy in a chicken coop and force her to wear a shock collar. I mean I can't say for 100% sure it won't happen. I just like to think I'll never get there.
A 27 year old California woman is under arrest after she attacked her boyfriend for bringing her the wrong beer. I'm not saying I support domestic violence but sometimes I think the law should go light on people. Just saying.
Ken Marino, who wants to dip his balls in it, has been added to the cast of the new dark comedy "Milo". Judy Greer also stars in the film about a man who believe his intestinal problems are caused by a demon living inside him. But a funny demon. Like the Don Rickles of demons or something.
The gang over at Fox tapped Will Dunn to write a big screen adaptation of Jesus Orellana's 2011 short film "Rosa". Channing Tatum has already been attached to the project which takes place in a future world where all natural life has been destroyed and a lone cyborg has been created to try to restore the world back to its former glory. Insert your own "Magic Mike" jokes here.
I'm pretty sure we've discussed "Cloud Atlas" but for the life of me I can't remember when or why. I mean I guess I know why. It's a horror site and the film is based on a book about a group that travels to the South Pacific to tell different tales in a book that eventually sends them back in time. Oh that's right we never talked about this because it confused the hell out of me. Anyway it's going to be in theaters on October 26th. See you there?
Sad news today that horror vet Richard Lynch has died at the age of 76. Readers may remember Lynch from his role in "Bad Dreams" as well as a number of other horror films.
A 72 year old man has been given a life sentence after he showed up at the door of a former high school classmate and killed him over a locker room prank from over 50 years ago. I'd like to take this time to personally apologize to anyone I may have hurt both mentally and physical in high school. Especially those that happen to know where I live. Or even write for this site and sit in on a weekly podcast with me. We're cool, right?
A Florida man is under arrest after he was caught filming girls changing in and out of their work uniforms at the local Hooters. Honestly did any of us think this was frowned upon? I had no idea. Maybe put up a sign or something guys.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Maybe not so much. My understanding from talking to a liberal law professor and reading a relevant case is that--contrary to much of the chatter--the constitutionality of the NSA spying is actually unclear. Short explanation: The Supremes has held that the president does not have the power to skip warrants when it comes to domestic threats (think Timothy McVeigh). But in the same case--the "Keith" case, which was decided in 1972-- also explicitly withheld judgment of warrantless spying with regard to agents of foreign powers (think Moussaoui.) The precedent and attendant murkiness is nicely summarized in this 200 U.S. District court ruling:
The Government urges that the searches at issue in this case fall within an established exception to the warrant requirement. According to the Government, searches conducted for the purpose of foreign intelligence collection which target persons who are agents of a foreign power do not require a warrant. The Defendant asserts that such an exception does not exist and should not be recognized by this Court.
The Supreme Court has acknowledged but has not resolved this issue. See United States v. United States District Court (Keith ), 407 U.S. 297, 321- 22 (1972). Circuit courts applying Keith to the foreign intelligence context have affirmed the existence of a foreign intelligence exception to the warrant requirement for searches conducted within the United States which target foreign powers or their agents. See United States v. Clay, 430 F.2d 165, 171 (5th Cir.1970); United States v. Brown, 484 F.2d 418, 426 (5th Cir.1973); United States v. Butenko, 494 F.2d 593, 605 (3d Cir.1974);
United States v. Buck, 548 F.2d 871, 875 (9th Cir.1977); United States v. Truong Dinh Hung, 629 F.2d 908, 913 (4th Cir.1980). . .

What to Expect
Visits with the specialists at the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition are available at Children's Medical Center Dallas as well as at the Legacy Campus in Plano.
Because most insurance plans require pre-authorization for a visit to a specialist, most patients are referred to one of our programs by a primary care provider, or a family doctor. In order to make a referral, have your provider contact the gastroenterology department at Children's at 214-456-8000 for Children's Dallas, or 469-303-4200 for Children's at Legacy (Plano).
Our office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Specifically, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease multidisciplinary clinic meets on Tuesdays 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
If I am late for my scheduled clinic visit, what should I do?
Please note that if you are late for your appointment, it is at the discretion of the provider (physician or nurse practitioner) that you are scheduled to see if they are still able see you. In those cases, wait times may be up to 3-4 hours, otherwise you will be rescheduled.
Please call 214-456-8000 as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.
A Whole Team Working Together for Your Child
Before, during and after your visit to the Gastroenterology department at Children's expect to be consulted by a variety of nationally-recognized specialists. These specialists will work together with your child, your family and primary care provider to create the most appropriate treatment plan. Some specialists that our patients see include:
- Gastroenterologists
- Nurses
- Surgeons
- Hepatologists
- Social workers
- Psychologists
- Allergists
- Radiologists
If hospitalization is necessary, our outpatient team will visit your child prior to transfer to the Gastroenterology unit and an inpatient gastroenterologist will be in charge of day-to-day care at the hospital. Our inpatient and outpatient teams are immediately in contact with one another about changes to your child's condition.
After Your Visit and Ongoing Treatment
After the appointment or hospitalization any diagnosis, evaluation and recommended treatment information is promptly provided to your child's referring physician.
Some chronic pediatric gastrointestinal conditions, such as Crohn's disease, requires years of treatment after surgery or hospitalization at Children's. The Gastroenterology team is dedicated to supporting our patients through treatment in the near and long term. We have developed programs that will help ensure a healthy future for our patients as they progress to adulthood.
Children's believes that education is one of the keys to wellness, so our team strives to empower our patients by providing educational tools to thrive with a chronic gastrointestinal condition.
As always, the Children's team works closely with our patients' primary care providers or family doctors to make sure that everyone involved in our patients' care has all of the information they need to ensure a positive outcome.

Traktor Boy Can't Come Out to Play
This is an old photo of Alexei Mikhnov. He isn't on the Russian World Hockey Championships team (if they had a Ukraine team he'd have made it) but he was on the 05-06 team (6gp, 3-2-5).
He had a decent playoffs this spring (16gp, 3-5-8) and a solid regular year (52gp, 14-20-34, +15) and with just one year remaining until he's UFA this might be the last chance Texaco for both team and player.
It isn't going to happen.
Guy Flaming's European update gives us this item from Kevin Lowe: "It's highly unlikely that we'll see Mikhnov next year, but he did show us enough that at least I have some intrigue in going forward." Now I haven't dated in quite some time but it probably still holds true that if you've known someone 8 years and there's still no spark, no amount of Smirnoff is going to be enough to get it done.
Guy's article is well worth reading.

Candia, Hooksett superintendent not afraid of big battles with Manchester
In the beginning of October, relatively early in the Manchester high school overcrowding crisis, Manchester schools Superintendent Thomas Brennan gave a presentation to the Hooksett School Board where he attempted to assure them that the problems which riled up parents in September were being addressed: class sizes were down, desk availability had never really been an issue, and books were on the way.
After Brennan left, and the board discussed what they had heard with some skepticism, SAU 15 Superintendent, Charles Littlefield started to fiddle with his iPad.
"I'm not being rude," he assured the audience and the board as they waited. "I'm being dramatic."
After a moment, he held up his iPad to the audience to display a picture of something a parent had shown him: a textbook tattered beyond repair, split almost in two.
It was an unusual display but a telling one. In a profession of technocrats and bureaucrats, Littlefield can operate something like a deferential crusader.
"I had to take a picture of it," Littlefield said to the audience, "because I don't want to hear that there are plenty of books. Although, that would actually be two books."
It was a gesture he would repeat almost two months later during a joint meeting between the Candia and Manchester school boards where it was received less enthusiastically by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas
It was a are rare public display from Littlefield, who as superintendent serves as the primary liaison between the Candia and Hooksett boards and the city school district, where they send the majority of the their high school students. It's a role he typically performs diplomatically.
Minutes after the iPad demonstration, for instance, he refused to hear any ill words about Brennan, calling him "one of the most honorable and professional men I've ever worked with."
"I can't stand bureaucracy and bureaucratic structures. I can't change the world, but I can change the way I operate, and I do not operate as bureaucrat," said Littlefield. "I operate a multi-million dollar business.
"So part of my approach on a daily basis is a business approach. But, I'm not dealing with digits, and I'm not dealing with bricks; I'm dealing with and I'm an advocate for living, breathing human beings: kids. And despite my advanced years, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be a kid, and the need for somebody to really advocate for kids.
"There are times when the passion leaks through the business facade, and it has to. There is an emotional part to this issue: those high school kids are our future. This is what drives me. I truly believe that democracy depends on this next generation of kids who have to more competitive in the world than any generation, period."
Much of his attitude is visible in his history.
Charles Phil Littlefield grew up in Quincy, Mass., before attending Boston University in the late 1960s. He was an idealistic pre-med student, a little all over the place - he says he probably would have been given a steady regimen of Ritalin if he had grown up in a later time - but "driven to make a difference in people's lives."
"My vision was I was going to be a Dr. Tom Dooley [the American physician and humanitarian] in the jungles of Southeast Asia," he said.
After his father died in 1969, the financial realities of medical school caught up with him.
"It just wasn't going to happen," Littlefield said. "So I had to step back and say what's an alternative path, where I can make a difference, I can have an impact, where long after I'm gone there may be those that say 'Hey, remember that guy.' "
After graduating in 1969, Littlefield became a public school teacher in Massachusetts, his medical coursework proving helpful to him as the federal government was investing increasingly in the sciences and math, until becoming superintendent for the "large and complex" Methuen School District in 1985. There, he was forced to deal with Proposition 2�, a statute strictly limiting property tax increases, a fact which allows him some empathy for Manchester's budget issues.
After nearly 20 years in Methuen, however, Littlefield was looking for something smaller and more intimate. In 2006, he saw the opening at SAU 15, and made the move.
"I haven't blinked yet," he said. "I was blessed with three wonderful boards. . I work in three wonderful communities that are very supportive of teaching and learning, that have great kids, and involved parents who hold us accountable and hold our feet to the fire."
In SAU 15, Littlefield seems to have found both that intimacy and an outlet for his drive to make an impact. He remembered one SAU 15 student who had difficulty conforming to the demands of school.
"I got to know him, and he was and is a technological genius," Littlefield said. "I don't mean just good at technology. I mean, wow. And I think I was a part of a group that was able to open some doors for this kid, had him display and demonstrate some superior talents. If I hadn't known him by name, that may not have happened."
As the Manchester schools continue to struggle, and the city's school officials struggle to provide a satisfactory solution to its sending towns, however, Littlefield might soon have to step on to a larger stage as a negotiator for the towns' release from their high school contract.
"(Manchester) is facing so many challenges in terms of financial resources that you wonder, even if there's a willingness to address the issues, whether there's the capacity to do so," he said. "It may come to the point where we just have to agree: If you can't do it, just tell us you can't do it. We don't have to be mad at each other, we don't have to be critical of each other, we don't have to find fault with the way each is operating."
In terms of how he will approach such a step, the iPad moment may not be a bad indicator. After considering a comment that he was something like a wartime superintendent, Littlefield said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of battles."

A research team in Australia says it's added enough electrolytes into a brew to give it rehydrating properties and therefore alleviate hangovers. But will it get you drunk?
Scientists with the Department of Energy have designed a new type of battery that they say outpaces the ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries in flammability, cost, and ability to hold a charge.
Big Blue is using the human brain as a template for breakthrough designs. Brace yourself for a supercomputer that's cooled and powered by electronic blood and small enough to fit in a backpack.
On tap: cheaper, safer, lighter, more powerful lithium ion batteries. The key is a manufacturing process more often associated with food than electronics.
Big Blue signs on partners for its Battery 500 Project to design an "air-breathing" lithium air battery that would create a leap in energy density.
Researchers are working on a lithium air battery that will make electric vehicles as practical as gas-powered cars.
Automotive News reports on the views of various experts that the cost of electric cars will rapidly decrease.
A California start-up gets $11 million in venture funding to build a full-scale flow battery it says will be low cost and able to store wind and solar energy.

Kristen Stewart Addresses Relationship With Robert Pattinson: 'Keep 'Em Guessing'
Are they or aren't they?
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison's relationship status is in the news once again, and the actress has finally spoken – but did she confirm she's dating her "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" co-star?
The 22-year-old was asked if she and Robert are together during her appearance on the "Today" show on Wednesday.
"Kristen, you have so many fans and they will be mad at us if we don't ask you," Savannah Guthrie asked. "Are you back together with Robert Pattinson?"
"Funny you mention that," Kristen said. "I'm going to just let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are."
Adding, "Keep 'em guessing, I always say."
In July, Kristen publicly apologized to Robert after news broke that she cheated with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, who is married to Liberty Ross.
"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," she said at time. "This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob… I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" hits theaters on November 16.

Ladies, cross dressers, start your engines. It is time to buy new make-up.
My eyeliner has been ground down to a mini shank. I'm scraping the bottom of my Orgasm.
For some of you the prospect of buying new make-up might bring up feelings of excitement, and possibly even a rush of pre-consumerism joy.
The brightly lit aisles and thousands of tubes of gloss and face cream lining the shelves of Sephora may make your heart pound with possibility.
For me, it makes me tinkle a little with anxiety.
The thought of having to purchase new makeup is about as thrilling to me as the thought of going into Nordstrom for a bra fitting.
Turn around! Now jiggle jiggle jiggle those jugs into this metal lined contraption!
Some of my friends (okay, one of my friends) would argue: You don't need make-up! What about character, that weird way you can cross your eyes, the way you can balance a small animal on your ample bosom?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But have you seen what I look like without make-up?
Oh, it's bad, people. B-A-D. Not as bad as the ring of unmentionableness doing a swing your partner round and round, grab that flesh and a do-si-do around my middle (thankyouverymuchthreecsecions).
As an experiment I went au natural for a day. I heard: You look exhausted! And: Are you coming down with a virus?
When I looked in the mirror I saw dark circles under my eyes, the large red zit on the side of my nose, and a general look of alopecia where there should have been eyelashes.
What I want is to look fresh and natural (who sounds like a douche commercial now?). I don't want to look like a hooker or like I'm trying to be all Emo-like.
I really loved Dove's Campaign for Beauty. I think media, advertisements and the fashion industry have made it impossible for women to feel good about themselves. We are trying to attain something that isn't even real. We've been duped, ladies.
So I know that I must meet my own definition of beauty and not expect to look like a model. I'm good with that. After all, I'm forty-one. I don't have delusions about some model scout stopping me on the street and saying, "I've been wanting a middle-aged 5'3″ puffy Jewish lady to be the next big thing!"
I just want to feel good about what I see looking back at me in the mirror.
Rather than starting at Nordstrom (tinkle) I went to Target for a little do-it-yourself make up shopping.
I came home with a bag filled with concealer, eyeliner, mascara, under eye fixits, and firming cream for my giblet.
The problem with buying make-up at Target is that you can't try it on when you're there, so you have to take it home, see if it works, and return it if it doesn't. We all know how much fun the return process at Target is.
The concealer I picked out made me look like Morticia Addams.
The mascara made me look like Tammy Faye. Every time I blinked I felt like my eyeballs were being blugeoned.
Clearly I needed help. I doubled up on my grandma panties, tucked them under the too-low waist of my ill fitting jeans and headed into Nordstrom.
The first thing I saw was the Mac make-up counter. It looked like a mosh pit. Girls were swarming all around and I couldn't tell who was working the counter. No one really looked human. There were feathers, glitter, Viva this, and transwhat? that.
I was about to slink away and leave only a small puddle of urine in my wake to show for my time at Mac when a make-up artist approached me. She was wearing an apronish fannypack-like get-up filled with any overwhelming array of brushes. Her face was made up to look, well, like a kitten. She guided me through the crowd to a seat and was suddenly wiping me down with wet cottonballs.
Before I knew it I was armed with Pervette lipstick, Naked Lunch, Phloof!, and Aquadisiac eyeshadows, Fever blush (to replace my Orgasm with something more viral), Haute & Naughty Lash (great for those of you who have horny eyelashes), and a couple of items from Mac's new Glamour Gourmet line.
All so I can bring home the bacon and fry it up like a robothooker.

Drip Alert: Industry research has determined that bulk water intrusion from the exterior is responsible for a majority of the moisture related problems. Poorly sealed windows, doors, and siding are some of the major culprits. Just one crack in the caulk necessitates replacing all the caulk.
□ Follow these simple steps to replace caulk around a window or door:
□ Clean the surface of the frames or door frame to be caulked with rubbing alcohol.
□ Place a foam backer rod in seams more than 1/2 in. wide or 1/4 in. deep.
□ Using a caulk gun held at 45 degrees, push the bead ahead of the nozzle. Don't fill weep holes at the base of the window frame.
□ Use a spoon dipped in soapy water to apply a smooth finish before the caulk cures.
□ Check the weather-stripping along doors. Detrimental weather conditions can cause weather-stripping to disintegrate, leaving gaps for air and moisture to enter.
□ Inspect and recaulk seams in siding. If you are between paint jobs, clear caulks are available that will blend with the house color.
□ Inspect stucco and brick surfaces for cracked mortar. You can either call in a professional or obtain patch kits from your hardware store.
□ Keep a minimum 6 in. clearance between the siding and the ground.
□ Using a small mirror, inspect bottom edges of siding close to the ground. Prime and paint any unfinished siding drip edges.

Wind energy production has so far been dominated by the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). They can be scaled up to reach high in the air where the controlled drugs list tramadol wind blows faster and low cost generic viagra produce a lot of energy per turbine (a 10 MW turbine is not far away), but researchers at Caltech say that vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may actually be the better choice.
A recent study of turbine placement and output found that because VAWTs can be placed closer together, they're capable of generating ten times as much energy per square meter than HAWTs.
In a series of we use it online cialis field tests that placed six VAWTs in different configurations, it was found that a spacing of four turbine diameters apart (about five meters) got rid of any aerodynamic interference between the turbines. HAWTs require 20 turbine diameters of spacing in order to eliminate aerodynamic interference, equaling more than a mile between each turbine. The six VAWTs were able to www.kachinwomen.com produce 21 to 47 watts of power per square meter, while a comparable HAWT farm only produces about two to three watts per square meter.
The study also found that having each VAWT spin in the opposite direction of its neighbor allowed them to spin faster because the opposing spins reduced the drag on each turbine, which upped their efficiency even more.
To add to the list of benefits, VAWTs are also cheaper, smaller and less intrusive, allowing them to be installed in lots of places where large HAWTs just wouldn't do.

it is also stated that the vawts are cheaper which isn't true if you have to buy 5 for every 1 hawt.

KW per square meter of ground is not important when setting up on a farm or in the ocean. But in location where space is limited say on a roof. Then the dense packing of VAWT's could be useful.
But they still have to be cost effective, which was not considered in the study.
written by Pierre, August 19, 2011
1. What if these VAWT's can be designed / built / arranged / spaced to create faster winds through the wind farm, to create some sort of synergy that could translate into even greater power output? And can they be close enough to be geared together to create some sort of gigantic flywheel effect?
2. I read a bit further into VAWT's (through links in this and other articles) and an idea that pops up is buy viagra 50mg to retrofit these onto existing vertical poles, like light poles. And they can be found on every block of cialis pharmacy in india every city! Light poles in any city on any coast will never stop turning. Must be good for something besides lip service...
3. Since the most important thing you can change is your point of view, what if we change our way of thinking about making and storing our own power? In the past (and still today), central utilities produce the power so we can use it on buy cheap cialis demand (kind of like on-demand storage, if you think of it that way). Now we want to canada cheap cialis create our own power and save on our central utility bills but infrastructure costs (batteries, inverters, etc.) are a heavy burden, and they're already installed by the utilities. Maybe we can compromise and produce our own power to put into the http://www.tevaka.com/uk-viagra grid, using it as storage? Actually, it's more like passing it to those who need it more at any particuler time, like when we're at work yet the sun still shines and cialis professional cheap the wind still blows. Kind of like an internet for power. Just as the power/creation of the internet was decentralization of information, why can't power be decentralized but still use the existing infrastructure for delivery and storage, a kind of symbiotic relationship, if you will? Sometimes, hybrid systems are better than the parts that created them...

Solar power is intermittent

Spectacular colors above and below
In Landmannalaugar, the cold Arctic wind that whips around is almost as arresting as the unusual hues of the landscape. Vivid skies are reflected in icy lakes, and ancient volcanoes slope down in shades of soft pinks, rusty reds and ashen grays. Meanwhile, below, radioactive-looking plains of fluorescent green moss are bordered by jet-black obsidian. Nature has not been stingy with her color palette here.


text: Light snow showers are in the forecast for Thursday and Friday with less than 2" expected locally. Areas of the Silver Valley are under a winter storm watch and could see snow fall totals between 4" and 8". The weekend looks to be cold and mostly dry. A chance of more snow showers next week.

Thank you … I'll try "but you'll need to play around with these as it's difficult to give exact guidance. Also you may get better results if you display the map in the 'bp_before_member_header_meta' region" for now
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my example link. Yes, the template is a buddydress template called scholar.

The Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) is the Virginia chapter of the Republican Party. It is based in the Richard D. Obenshain Center in Richmond in the Commonwealth of Virginia.[1]

Organization and candidate selection[edit]
The State Party Plan[2] specifies the organization of the state party and how candidates will be selected. The 79-member State Central Committee sets the policy and plans for the party between larger State Conventions, which gather at least once every four years.
Candidates for elective office can be selected by (1) mass meetings, (2) party canvasses, (3) conventions, or (4) primaries. A mass meeting consists of a meeting where any participants must remain until votes are taken at the end. A party canvass or "firehouse primary" allows participants to arrive anytime during announced polling hours, cast a secret ballot, and then leave. A convention includes a process for selecting delegates, and then only the delegates may vote. Mass meetings, party canvasses and conventions are conducted by party officials and volunteers. Primaries are administered by the State Board of Elections at all established polling places. Because Virginia does not have party registrations, participation in primaries are open to any register voter regardless of party. However, on June 15, 2006, the Plan was amended to redefine a primary:
"Primary" is as defined in and subject to the Election Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except to the extent that any provisions of such laws conflict with this Plan, infringe the right to freedom of association, or are otherwise invalid.
At the same time, the Plan was amended to require participants in any of the candidate selection methods to "express in open meeting either orally or in writing as may be required their intent to support all [Republican] nominees for public office in the ensuing election".
The candidate selection process has been criticized as favoring "party insiders" and disfavoring moderate candidates. For example, both Jim Gilmore and the more moderate Thomas M. Davis were seeking the 2008 Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. However, two weeks following the decision that the candidate will be selected at a convention instead of a primary,[3] Davis announced that he would not seek the nomination.
Open primary litigation[edit]
Virginia does not provide for voters to register by party. Virginia law requires "open" primaries that are not restricted based on party registration:
All persons qualified to vote... may vote at the primary. No person shall vote for the candidates of more than one party.[4]
In 2004, the Republican Party amended the State Party Plan to attempt to restrict participation in primaries to exclude voters who had voted in a Democratic primary after March 1, 2004, or in the last five years, whichever is more recent. In August 2004, Stephen Martin, an incumbent State Senator, designated that the Republican candidate for his seat in the November 2007 election should be selected by primary. The Republicans then sued the State Board of Elections demanding a closed primary be held, with taxpayer funding of a mechanism to exclude voters who had participated in past Democratic primaries.[5]
The Federal District Court dismissed the suit on standing and ripeness grounds. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed and sent the case back for a trial on its merits. The District Court then ruled that the rule forcing a party to accept the choice of its incumbent office holder of an open primary was unconstitutional. The state could continue to hold open primaries if a party opted for a primary instead of a mass meeting, party canvass, or convention to choose its nominees.[6] On October 1, 2007, the Fourth Circuit affirmed this holding, which largely left Virginia's primary system intact, striking down only the rule allowing an incumbent officeholder to choose an open primary over the objection of his or her party.[7]
The Republican State Central Committee dropped plans to require voters to sign a loyalty oath before voting in the February 2008 Presidential Primary. The party had proposed to require each voter to sign a pledge stating "I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican Party for President." However, there was no way to enforce the pledge, and the proposal caused vocal public opposition.[8]
Richard D. Obenshain Center[edit]
The party headquarters building is named the Richard D. Obenshain Center in memory of Richard D. Obenshain (1936–1978), the State Party Chairman who beginning in 1972, helped lead the party's renaissance in Virginia following 95 years of virtual control by the State's Democratic Party (since Reconstruction except when William Mahone and the Readjuster Party coalition dominated affairs for a few years).
In 1978, "Dick" Obenshain had won the party's nomination to run for the U.S. Senate to replace retiring Senator William Scott when the 42-year old candidate and two others were killed in an airplane crash of a twin engine aircraft on August 2, 1978 while attempting a night landing at the Chesterfield County Airport. They had been returning to Richmond from a campaign appearance.
Current leadership[edit]
Pat Mullins is the current Chairman of the RPV. He was appointed interim Chairman in a meeting of the State Central Committee on May 3, 2009, and elected to a full term as chairman at the State Convention on May 30, 2009.
The current executive director is Shaun Kenney, who was appointed by Mullins on April 2, 2014.[9]
Past leadership (2004-2009)[edit]
Kate Obenshain Griffin of Winchester became the party's chairman in 2004. Following Senator George Allen's unsuccessful 2006 reelection bid, Griffin submitted her resignation as Chairman effective November 15, 2006. Her brother, Mark Obenshain, is a State Senator from Harrisonburg in the Virginia General Assembly. Both are the children of the late Richard D. Obenshain.
Ed Gillespie was elected as the new Chairman of the RPV on December 2, 2006. He resigned on June 13, 2007 to become the counselor to President George W. Bush. Mike Thomas served as interim chairman until July 21 when former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia John H. Hager was elected chairman. On April 9, 2007 the RPV named Fred Malek to serve as the Finance Chairman and Lisa Gable to serve as the Finance Committee Co-Chair.[10]
On May 31, 2008, Hager was defeated in his bid for re-election at a statewide GOP convention by a strongly conservative member of the House of Delegates, Jeff Frederick of Prince William County. Frederick, who was then 32 years old, was the 5th party chairman in 5 years. The following year, Frederick was removed from the position by RPV's State Central Committee,[11][12] with the backing of most the senior GOP establishment. Many argued that Frederick's election and later removal was a war within the party between insiders and outsiders[13] (or grassroots versus establishment[14]). After his removal, Frederick considered seeking the chairman job again at the party's 2009 convention, but later declined.[15][16] On May 30, 2009, the State Convention selected former Fairfax party chairman and current Louisa chairman Pat Mullins to serve as party chair over Bill Stanley, the Frankin County party chairman. Many of Frederick's supporters supported Stanley in that race.[17] Frederick went on to win the Republican nomination for the 36th District state Senate seat in the 2011 election in the primary on August 23, 2011.[18]
Recent elections[edit]
2008 elections[edit]
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama won Virginia's 13 electoral votes in the 2008 presidential election, taking 1.96 million votes (52.6%) to Republican nominee John McCain's 1.73 million votes (46.3%).[19][20] Democrat Mark Warner soundly defeated Republican Jim Gilmore in Virginia's U.S. Senate race by a margin of 65%-34%.[21] In the House elections, two Republican incumbents, Virgil Goode and Thelma Drake, were unseated, with Goode losing to Democrat Tom Perriello by just 727 votes.[22][23] Democrat Gerry Connolly took the open seat held by the retiring Republican Tom Davis.[24] As a result of the 2008 elections, Democrats took control of both the state's U.S. Senate seats and the state's House delegation.[23]
2009 elections[edit]
Special elections[edit]
The Republican Party sought to reverse its November 2008 losses in a series of special elections which historically draw low voter turnout. In the January 13 special election to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Delegate Brian Moran to run for Governor, Democrat Charniele Herring became the first African-American woman from Northern Virginia to be elected to the House of Delegates, defeating Republican candidate Joe Murray by 16 votes.[25] She was seated on Jan. 26, following repeated efforts by the Republican caucus to delay her seating until a recount could be completed.[26]
Because Gerry Connolly was elected to Congress from the 11th District, a special election was held on February 3 to fill his seat as Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. In that election, about 16% of the registered voters participated, and Democrat Sharon Bulova defeated Republican Pat Herrity by 1,206 votes. Anthony Bedell, chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Party told the Washington Post, "In November, we got our clocks cleaned. Three months later, even in a special this was a squeaker. That's good news for Republicans."[27]
Another special election was held to fill Bulova's Braddock District board seat on March 10.[27] Republican John Cook won the seat by 89 votes.[28]
Statewide elections[edit]
Virginia and New Jersey were the only states to hold statewide elections in 2009. The Republicans selected their candidates at a State Convention held on May 29–30, 2009 in Richmond. Former Attorney General of Virginia Bob McDonnell was nominated for Governor. "His candidacy is part of a Republican renaissance that starts this year in Virginia," said Michael Steele chair of the Republican National Committee.[17] Incumbent Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, who declined to run for governor to avoid a primary fight with McDonnell, defeated Patrick Muldoon for the Lieutenant Governor nomination.[17][29] State Senator Ken Cuccinelli, who the Washington Post described as "one of the most conservative members of the General Assembly," defeated John Brownlee and David M. Foster for the Attorney General nomination.[17]
All three candidates won handily in the November elections, in a victory for Republicans that was seen as a rebuke of the Democratic Party's policies in the White House and Congress.[30]
House of Delegates elections[edit]
All 100 House seats were up for election in 2009. Republicans took nine seats held by Democrats while just one Democrat took a seat held by a Republican, for a net gain of eight seats and a 59-seat majority.
2010 elections[edit]
Special elections[edit]
On January 12, 2010, in a special election for the 37th State Senate district, Democrat Dave W. Marsden beat Republican Steve M. Hunt by a 327 vote margin.[31] In the 8th State Senate district, Republican Jeff L. McWaters beat Democrat William W. "Bill" Fleming by a vote of 78-21%.[32] On March 2, 2010, Democrat Eileen Filler-Corn was elected to fill Marsden's Delegate seat by 37 votes, out of 11,528 cast. Because the vote margin was within 0.5%, the state will pay for a recount.[33][34] She was sworn in on March 3, 2010 after her opponent dropped his plans to request a recount.[35]
Congressional elections[edit]
All of the state's 11 U.S. House seats were up for election in 2010 (neither U.S. Senate seat was up for election). Republicans picked up three seats held by Democrats. Auto dealer Scott Rigell defeated freshman Democratic incumbent Glenn Nye 53%-42% in the 2nd District.[36][37] Attorney Robert Hurt defeated freshman Democratic incumbent Tom Perriello 51%-47% in the 5th District.[37][38] And House of Delegates Majority Leader Morgan Griffith defeated 28-year Democratic incumbent Rick Boucher 51%-46% in the 9th District.[37][39] With the election, Republicans now hold 8 of Virginia's 11 House seats.
After Republicans took control of the U.S. House in the elections, Virginia Republican Eric Cantor of the 7th District was elected House Majority Leader.[40]
2011 elections[edit]
On November 8, 2011, Republicans got control of the State Senate with Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling as the tie breaking vote and increased their majority in the State House to a 68 seat vote margin making it the GOP's largest majority in history. And with that, captured their second government trifecta[clarification needed] since the Reconstruction Era.
Current elected officials[edit]
The Virginia Republican Party holds a majority in the Virginia House of Delegates. While Republicans control neither U.S. Senate seat or any of the three statewide offices, they hold 8 of the state's 11 U.S. House seats.

An arson investigation is underway at a home on Garden
Street in North Montgomery. The two alarm fire destroyed the home and compromised the houses on either side.
Neighbor Charolette Arnette witnessed the whole ordeal on
the morning of the 4th, "I told my husband it sounds like someone is popping
firecrackers. I looked out the window and saw fire coming out both sides
of the house."
Arnette says it wasn't what she saw, but who, that turned
this relaxed holiday morning into an unnerving nightmare.
"He ran out in the middle of the road. About that time
we heard a boom, it was like an explosion."
Arnette says the man who likely set the fire made a fast
getaway down the street. By that time, the house was fully involved, "It
scared me to death. I was panicked and screaming."
She immediately alerted the neighbors, who had children
sleeping on the same side of the home as the raging fire. Thankfully it spared
the house. The same couldn't be said for the home on the other side,
reported Arnette, "It doesn't look good, I'm just glad everyone is okay."
It took firefighters less than half an hour to put out the
blaze at the abandoned house. Arnette says it will take much longer to
come to terms with what played out across the street, on a day when she least expected

Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
If there was any movie from my childhood that ensured I'd never get a decent night's sleep again, this was it. With Freddy, that metal-clawed, scar-faced creature that only nightmares are made of, director Wes Craven gave us the sort of movie character that remains utterly recognizable and overused in pop culture. To the extent that it becomes impossible to ever entirely erase him from your mind.
The film's premise? In many ways it's just another '80s style slasher movie, only this time the villain gets them in their dreams, or rather, nightmares. Sleeping bodies (of a more relatable cast than in most films of this genre) are brutally ripped to pieces and loved ones are left looking on. There's only one rule—don't fall asleep. Or Freddy will get you. His domain is the dream world.

Guntersville Police hope someone recognizes the thief who not only stole the man's wallet, but used his cash to buy a big screen TV.
The man was going to use part of the money from his disability check to buy a television, but the money was stolen, and it was the thief who bought a TV.

Griffin was in the local Walmart looking to buy a TV.
"I pull out my wallet and give my girlfriend $150 out of it, and when I give it to her, I put my wallet back in my pocket," he said - or that's what he thought.
Instead, a shopper had come up to Griffin and saw Griffin's wallet fall to the ground. The man waited until Griffin got the television he wanted, then he slid the wallet back with his foot a bit and picked it up.
And so Griffin went to pay for the television.
"And when I got up front to pay for it, I said, 'My wallet. I done lost my wallet,'" he said.
Surveillance video later shows the man purchasing a television with Griffin's money.
In all, Griffin lost more than $800 in cash from his disability check, which included his rent money. Even the wallet was special.
"It hurt me because my granddaughter bought me an Alabama billfold," he said.
Griffin hopes someone can recognize the man who walked out a new television owner with his money.
Police said he left in a dark colored, late model Chevy S10 pickup truck.
If anyone has any information on who the man may be, contact the Guntersville Police Department.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013-1: Corset Of A $6.5 Billion Lingerie Brand
The 2013 Victoria's Secret fashion show extravanza played out in Manhattan's Lexington Avenue Armory last week armory with entertainment by Taylor Swift. The show was divided into six themes: 'British Invasion', 'Birds of Paradise', 'Shipwrecked', 'Snow Angels', 'Parisian Nights' and 'PINK network'. Huff Po weight in with The 10 Most Bizarre Outfits From The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but we found the lingerie not as outlandish as in some years past. Much of the styling was quite beautiful.
The $6.5 billion VS brand is riding strong comp sales of 6-7% in a rough retail climate and slumping ready-to-wear sales. Retail now accounts for an even larger share of the VS brand, at about 77% of revenues.
The battles over body size and what makes a woman sexy carry on, over at Models.com. It's questionable whether the VS greats would even be able to talk the show today. We're not engaging in debate this year. Photos by Billy Rood for Models.com

Long term trainees are formally registered as LEND fellows; by completion of their training will have 300 or more contact hours and will have completed the entire LEND curriculum (clinical and didactic). These criteria apply regardless of LEND funding.
For example, First-Year Pediatric Fellows sometimes receive funding from Children's Hospital rather than LEND. They are still considered LEND trainees, as long as they participate in the LEND curriculum throughout the course of the fellowship year. Similarly, other Disciplines may have one or more of their trainees participate in LEND on an unfunded basis.
All trainees are required to fulfill all program obligations within coursework, community, family and research components throughout the training year.
