PLACERVILLE – Gino DiMatteo, the operator of a South Lake Tahoe medical marijuana dispensary, found himself in a jam last summer.
His landlord, threatened by U.S. prosecutors with prison and seizure of the building for leasing to a marijuana operation, was evicting him. So DiMatteo urgently approached the South Lake Tahoe City Council, pleading for permission to move his pot store.
Now, he is charged with bribing a City Council member. And, in a saga that grows more bizarre, his attorney said DiMatteo recently wore a wire in a sting operation against the council member by the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office.
On Friday, in an orange jail smock and handcuffs, DiMatteo appeared in a court bail hearing. So far, he is the only person charged in a probe of council member Angela Swanson, who introduced motions in June and July on behalf of DiMatteo's bid for a new location for his former City of Angels Dispensary.
Swanson released a statement Tuesday, saying the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office had informed her she is "involved in their investigation" into an allegation of "attempted bribery of a public official."
The case has riled political leaders in South Lake Tahoe, where the City Council in July reversed itself and voted against DiMatteo's dispensary move, effectively putting him out of business and prompting him to file a $1 million claim against the city, a precursor to a lawsuit.
The reversal came after the council received a memo from a local narcotics task force that portrayed the city and its then-three dispensaries as a national center for drug trafficking, claiming authorities had seized over 600 pounds of marijuana from people claiming to supply DiMatteo's dispensary.
In the halls of the courthouse Friday, DiMatteo's attorney Ted Long asserted the case is one of excessive prosecution and investigation of a man who donated $1,128 to a local schools foundation, for which Swanson was a board member, after he closed his dispensary and bought a Lake Tahoe fitness club and massage therapy center.
"In 50 years of practicing law, this is most outrageous abuse I've ever seen," Long said.
Swanson, who has not been charged, said in her earlier statement that "the revelation that I may be caught up somehow in the investigation of Mr. DiMatteo came as a shock and an affront to me."
She said she is cooperating with authorities, asserting: "I am proud of the reputation for honesty and integrity that I have established I have not done anything to intentionally betray that trust."
The district attorney's criminal bribery complaint said DiMatteo, also know as Sergio Franco Ottomanelli, "did unlawfully give and offer a bribe to a member of the South Lake Tahoe City Council" between June 5, when Swanson introduced a motion supporting his dispensary move, and June 13.
Deputy District Attorney James Clinchard declined to characterize the nature or circumstances of the alleged bribe or to say if anything of value changed hands. "I will say this. It's a very fluid investigation," he said.
South Lake Tahoe Mayor Claire Fortier, who also had supported the dispensary move, said she was stunned by the allegations of bribery targeting her council colleague.
"I really don't have a sense of guilt or innocence here," Fortier said. "That being said I was completely shocked – and unnerved."
Council member Bruce Grego said the investigation stirs troubling memories of an earlier scandal, when the city's mayor, Terry Trupp, was convicted of conspiracy and money-laundering in connection with cocaine smuggling in 1989. Grego, who replaced Trupp on the council, said he would be surprised if Swanson was involved in any misconduct. "I hope she is exonerated," he said.
In court papers Friday, Clinchard said authorities seized 15 pounds of marijuana from DiMatteo's South Lake Tahoe home – along with six bank accounts of unspecified amounts – after neighbors saw "multiple men loading large duffel bags" into several sport-utility vehicles at the house.
"This case is a still active and expanding investigation due to the complexity and size of the criminal enterprise," Clinchard wrote in requesting bail be set at $500,000. Visiting Superior Court Judge Robert Baysinger set bail at $50,000, though he delayed DiMatteo's release until at least Monday.
Besides bribery, DiMatteo is charged with other felonies that include possession of marijuana for sale, possession of a controlled substance and illegal possession of ammunition – the latter due to a 1999 conviction for handgun possession in New Jersey.
After his landlord was threatened with federal prosecution, DiMatteo informed the city he was buying a building a couple of doors down, facing bustling Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Over objections of city staff, Swanson introduced a June 5 motion – approved 4-1 by the council – to permit DiMatteo to move.
On July 2, a day before the City Council was to vote on a formal ordinance to allow the move, council members received a memo sent to South Lake Tahoe Police Chief Brian Uhler from Task Force Commander Jeff Catchings of the South Lake/El Dorado Narcotics Enforcement team.
Catchings alleged authorities had seized hundreds of pounds of marijuana from people claiming to supply DiMatteo's dispensary and said the city was a center for national pot trafficking.
At the July 3 meeting, Swanson said she was alarmed by the memo. She turned to DiMatteo and said, "Gino, please be very clear, I'm not here to defend you or protect (you) But I want to be very focused on what we're doing."
DiMatteo, who has not been charged with drug trafficking or indicted in other marijuana seizures, said he had a transparent business with video surveillance for police to view at any time.
"It's really easy for someone to commit a crime and say, 'Oh no, I was going to the collective (dispensary),'" he said to the council, adding: "I don't get it. I haven't been arrested for anything. No one in my collective has been arrested for anything."
Swanson went ahead and introduced the motion to let him move.
This time, it was voted down, 3-2, with Swanson and Fortier voting in favor, and Grego and council members Tom Davis and Hal Cole voting against the move. DiMatteo soon closed the dispensary and filed his million-dollar claim against the city.

Ive noticed lately that more and more (still in costume) CMs walk through the park once their shifts are over carrying backpacks and/or purses as they head backstage.
Now, Im not a CM (yet! WDW CP fall '08!!) so it may just be a necessity for the CMs to keep their backpacks/purses at their worksites instead of backstage, but i dont seem to recall ever seeing this (much) in years past.
nonetheless, for some reason, i feel seeing a frontierland CM carrying a modern day backpack ruins the immersion aspect far more than seeing the same CM, backpackless, briefly passing through fantasyland. The modernity of the backpacks/purses just ruins the illusion for me.
what do you all think? bad show? or am i making an issue out of something that shouldnt be all that big of a deal?

Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
from Juicy J – Bandz A Make Her Dance Lyrics on Genius
Referring to stacks of money by the rubber bands that hold them together is a literary device called "metonymy." Metonymy is when you call someone or something by one attribute rather than by the name of the thing itself. For example, when women are called "skirts" or royalty is referred to as "the crown."
It's also a double entendre because it literally means music from the band is making her dance but also states the idea of stacks, which is street slang for $1000. Juicy is making it rain!

Alright, today I got up a little late because of Black Friday shopping (spent wayyyyy too much money on myself), but I ran up to the Hobbytown to get some half-round styrene rods to make the chrome accents on the door panels and got home to start working on it again. I got the glove box decals glued on. In the following pictures, they don't look that good, but from farther away and inside the car, they look great! All I did was print them out on regular white paper and put shipping tape on the front and back of the decals, so they glued up nice. I figured out that her gauge cluster in the 1:1 car is a sweeping gauge and not a multi-gauge unit, so I went back to my old GN kit and stole the gauge pod from the dash and looks very close to the El Camino's sweeping cluster. I also got the AMT '70.5 Camaro rally wheels in the mail today (thanks sstacey47!) and mocked them up in the chosen tires and they fit pretty decent. They're a tad bit small, but I'll glue them in good. So today hopefully I'll get the other door piece cut out and finish mocking up the doors and dash in the interior bucket and start painting/flocking it. I also have to get the engine/trans mounted in the V6 frame. The model will be permanently placed in a display case I bought, so I'm not going to worry about anything on the underside of the car (exhaust, engine/trans fitment, etc).

New UCLA coach Jim Mora met with reporters Saturday shortly before the Bruins met Illinois at AT&T Park.
Mora said he was not bothered by criticism of his hiring and acknowledged the UCLA has a long way to go before the program is at a place where he and the school's fan base will be satisfied.
"But I think that we've hired a good staff and we're going to go after it," Mora said. "I mean that's all we can do we can just attack and do the best we can and try and bite it off in chunks and gain the ground that we've lost."
Here's a complete transcript of Mora's comments.
Why you haven't been more visible
Visibile in regards to what?
That you haven't been available. You haven't been talking. You haven't been down on the field.
I've been a work every day from 6 a.m. until midnight in the office.
Doing what?
Recruiting, hiring coaches, talking to administration. Things like that. I have not gone on the football field out of respect to the coaches that are coaching this game and the players that are playing this game. Having been in their shoes over the years the last thing I wanted to be in a distraction to them so I have stayed away from the football field. I've walked out on the field three times and each time I've not felt like it was a spot I should be. But for anyone to insinuate that I haven't been working or haven't been at UCLA would be false.
Where are you at with the staff?
We're in pretty good shape. We've got a couple guys we'll probably announce right after the new year.
A defensive coordinator?
Yeah, we'll be announcing a defensive coordinator.
Hired somebody?
Haven't, no, it's not official but it's looking good. The staff should be filled by Monday or Tuesday because the dead period ends Tuesday and we want to hit the road running on Wednesday.
What are you hoping to see today?
Well I'm basically watching it as a fan first. I want to see my new team play and then as a coach anytime you watch a game you evaluate it. It's hard to separate the fan from the coach so I want to see who makes plays. I want to see plays hard. I want to see if I can get a feel for body language and how I might be able to interpret attitude. I want to see guys that fight to win and you won't be able to see all those things but I think I'll get a feel for it.

WATCH: My Insider Breakdown of the Western Conference Championship between the LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC
In my latest edition of "Insider Breakdown," I look at the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Championship first leg against Seattle Sounders FC
Check it out above.
Robbie Keane says Gyasi Zardes must get back to basics if he's going to score against Seattle Sounders FC
CARSON, Calif. – Gyasi Zardes took MLS by storm with 16 goals in his second season with the LA Galaxy, but since finding the back of the net on Sept. 28, the forward has been silent.
Recently, Zardes has seen his amount of chances dwindle from an average of just over a shot on goal per game after the New York Red Bulls match to just two chances in the entirety of his six-game scoring drought.
Although the 23-year-old forward has failed to bury his chances as of late, his strike partner, Galaxy captain Robbie Keane says Zardes must get back to basics if he's going to find the back of the net against Seattle Sounders FC this weekend.
"He has to get back to understanding what got him here in the first place. The most important thing that he has to understand is to be a team player first. If you're a team player first then everything else will take care of itself," Keane said after training earlier this week. "He needs to get back to what he's good at, which is getting behind the defense and creating opportunities. But when he gets those opportunities then he has to take them and in the last few games, he hasn't. He needs to get back to that.
"Like any striker, you always go through stages where you don't score and it plays in your mind. The most important thing is that he has to get that out of his head fairly quickly, because when you're going into games thinking that you haven't scored for a while, it'll work against you. One thing that I would say is that when you get an opportunity, rather than be clever and try to place it, sometimes just put your foot through and try to smash it. Usually that has worked for me over the years when I haven't scored in a few games."
To his credit, Zardes agrees that if he's going to find the back of the net in LA's Western Conference Championship series, he has to be sharper in front of the net
"To be honest, I'm working extremely hard and there are numerous opportunities, but I'm just going to keep doing the same things that I've been doing. I've been unlucky, but the [chances] are there," said Zardes. "I just think that I have to get on the end of crosses because if you look at my goals, they typically come with solid link-up play with Robbie."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will renew their rivalry with Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship.
In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers, I take a look at the club's record in Conference Championship games.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. -- Way back in July, the LA Galaxy were walloped 7-0 by Manchester United in the Chevrolet FC Cup at the Rose Bowl. Although the match meant nothing in the MLS regular season standings, a certain segment of the Galaxy believe that the "embarrassment" from that win helped propel the club to the Western Conference Championship.
In front of droves of fans at the Rose Bowl, the Galaxy fell flat to a fierce United side that made quick work of LA's defense, particularly once the home side's first team was off the field. But since that defeat, LA has been a much different squad
Starting with a 3-0 domination of the very same Seattle Sounders FC team that they'll face on Sunday, the Galaxy have gone an impressive 10-3-4 since their defeat to the English Premier League club.
"It was embarrassing and we just turned a corner," said A.J. DeLaGarza. "Every year there is a game that turns everything around...it happened to Omar [Gonzalez] and I in college, it happens to us here."
Added Landon Donovan, "We don't put much stock into the final score, but we didn't play well. When we play well and lose then we can live with that and Bruce [Arena] can live with that. But when we lose and don't play well then that is unacceptable."
But Robbie Keane, who famously said that the defeat to Manchester United was a "kick in the ass" for the Galaxy, said that the match had no impact on his own thinking about LA's season.
"I literally haven't thought about Manchester United since that game," said Keane. "I don't pay any mind to preseason games, and it's even less when it's not our own preseason."
In the latest edition of the LA Galaxy TV's Top Five, I look at the best Galaxy postseason performances.

By advancing to the Conference Championship this season, the LA Galaxy will be returning to the Conference Final for the 13th time since the league's inception in 1996. While that is a record in MLS, just where does it stack up in other leagues? Well, according to Elias Sports Bureau, it measures quite favorably.
Since 1996, the Galaxy's mark is highest among the top U.S. professional sports leagues ranking higher than the MLB's New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals' mark with 10, the NFL's New England Patriots record of nine, the NBA's San Antonio Spurs' total of nine, and the NHL's Detroit Red Wings' record of six.
In addition to stacking up well nationally, the Galaxy's conference finals appearances are the highest marks locally, eclipsing the Los Angeles Lakers' record of eight "final four" appearances since 1996.
CC @EliasSports: #LAGalaxy reached "final 4" 13 times. Tops since 96 in other sports: Yanks/Cards 10, Patriots 9, Spurs 9, Red Wings 6
— Adrian Healey (@AdrianHealey) November 19, 2014
In the latest edition of my Top Five lists of LA Galaxy playoff moments, I look at Landon Donovan's best moments.
Check out the video above and provide your thoughts on the list below.
The 2014 MLS dispersal draft came and went with the LA Galaxy opting to make no picks with the 16th overall selection.
Despite having the option to select any former players from Chivas USA, the Galaxy opted to pass with their choice in the draft.
With the top selection in the draft, FC Dallas selected former MLS Goalkeeper of the Year candidate Dan Kennedy who was one of seven picks. Also selected were Matthew Dunn (NYCFC), Thomas McNamara (D.C. United), Donny Toia (Montreal Impact), Caleb Calvert (Colorado Rapids), Kristopher Tyrpak (San Jose Earthquakes), and Marco Delgado (Vancouver Whitecaps FC)
Brazilian center back Leonardo is expected to be a "candidate to play" in the Western Conference Championship first leg against Seattle Sounders FC according to LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, but that does not mean that the defender will be in the starting XI come Sunday.
The 26-year-old defender left Galaxy's 5-0 victory over Real Salt Lake in their Western Conference Semifinal second leg with a right hamstring strain that has prevented him from training with the club since. However, following training on Tuesday, Arena noted that Leonardo and fellow injured defenders Todd Dunivant (groin) and James Riley "are candidates to play" on Sunday.
But despite his initial optimism, Arena did state that the unpredictability of hamstring injuries will continue to make him a doubt until the Brazilian central defender returns to the field.
"There are all different degrees with those things," said Arena. "Every athlete is different, but hamstrings are hard to figure out until the player goes full tilt which hasn't happened yet so we don't know."
LA Galaxy Academy Under-17 defender Hugo Arellano was among 20 players selected to U.S. U-17 head coach Richie Williams for the team's upcoming tournament in Chile.
The US will face Chile, Brazil, and Qatar in the 2014 Copa Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins from Nov. 18-22. During the tournament, the U.S. will face Chile on Nov. 18, Brazil on the 20th, and Qatar on the 22nd.
Also included in the squad is former LA Galaxy Academy forward Haji Wright, who is currently with German side Schalke. Wright and his brother Hanif are expected to remain with the German club.
GOALKEEPERS: William Pulisic (Richmond United; Mechanicsville, Va.), Kevin Silva (Players Development Academy; Bethlehem, Pa.)
DEFENDERS: Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls Academy; Wappingers Falls, N.Y.), Hugo Arellano (LA Galaxy Academy; Norwalk, Calif.), Daniel Barbir (West Bromwich Albion; Allentown, Pa.), Tanner Dieterich (Real Salt Lake AZ; Nashville, Tenn.), John Nelson (Internationals; Medina, Ohio), Logan Panchot (St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri; St. Louis, Mo.) Alexis Velela (San Diego Surf; San Diego, Calif.)
MIDFIELDERS: George Braima (Crew Soccer Academy; Columbus, Ohio), Eric Calvillo (Real So Cal; Palmdale, Calif.), Keegan Kelly (Baltimore Celtic; Baltimore, Md.), Thomas McCabe (Players Development Academy; South Orange, N.J.), Christian Pulisic (Unattached; Hershey, Pa.), Alejandro Zendejas (FC Dallas, El Paso, Texas)
FORWARDS: Pierre Da Silva (New York Soccer Club; Port Chester, N.Y.), McKinze Gaines (Lonestar SC; Austin, Texas), Kai Koreniuk (Vitesse; Ormond Beach, Fla.), Josh Perez (Unattached; La Habra, Calif.), Haji Wright (Unattached; Los Angeles, Calif.)

Re: Auto-Pilot choices besides RayMarine
Thanx all for your responses...
I got a line on a guy (kodiakjack99 on Ebay) who provided some old hardware to others on the Blog... I'm waiting to hear if he can provide me a Control Head display, is it used and what the price is. I'm not sure if this is a smart idea, but I've taken a chance before ant it's paid off... Might be worth it for a few hundred max, but any more and I'll need to replace the ST4000... I don't know how I could mount the CPT, since the Catalina C320 has the Engine Module under the wheel on the binnacle... Would anyone know if the RayMarine X-5 could use the existing cabling from the ST4000 or would I need to pull new wires?

Riveridge Brings Exclusive Apple Variety to Kroger Grocery Stores in Detroit
DETROIT, Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — On February 12, 2011, Kroger grocery stores will hold special events at six Detroit locations to celebrate the debut of Red Prince apples in their 35 Detroit stores. Red Prince is a premium apple variety brought to Kroger stores by the variety's exclusive U.S. distributor, Riveridge Produce Marketing, Inc.

At the Birmingham and Coolidge Highway/Troy stores, patrons can meet and greet the grower family responsible for pioneering this fruit in North America.
Available for a limited time at Kroger stores (February to April); the Red Prince apple is a full flavored fruit with a mildly sweet taste excellent for snacking, salads and baking. It is unlike many varieties in that its flavor peaks during the winter season.

Bolts Bolster Norfolk Net; Acquire AHL All-Star DesjardinsSubmitted by timothy on August 16, 2010 - 19:48
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired goaltender Cedrick Desjardins from the Montreal Canadiens today in exchange for goaltender Karri Ramo, Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced.
"We are happy to be able to add Cedrick to the Lightning today," said Yzerman upon making the announcement. "With his American Hockey League experience, he will provide excellent goaltending depth for the organization, allowing us to be patient while Dustin Tokarski and Jaroslav Janus further mature and develop."
Desjardins, 6-foot, 194-pounds, has played in 90 career AHL games, recording a 49-27-5 record, 2.34 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. He has played all his AHL games with the Hamilton Bulldogs, including career-highs last season for games played with 45, wins with 29, minutes with 2,576, shutouts with six, goals-against average with 2.00 and tied his best for save percentage with .919.
Last season he led the AHL in goals-against average, ranked second in shutouts, fourth in wins and was tied for sixth in save percentage. His success earned him an appearance in the 2010 AHL All-Star Classic, in which he was named top goaltender during the skills competition, as well as landed him on the 2010 AHL Second All-Star Team following the season.
Bolts Acquire Gagne from PhiladelphiaSubmitted by chad on July 19, 2010 - 13:23
The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired winger Simon Gagne from the Philadelphia Flyers for defenseman Matt Walker and a 4th round draft pick. Gagne waived his No Trade Clause to join the Lightning from the cap-strapped Flyers.
"In adding Simon to the Lightning today, we acquire a very talented player that will play along side our top forwards,†said Lightning GM Steve Yzerman upon making the announcement. "With his combination of speed and skill we are excited to have him with us and grateful he was willing to waive his no movement clause. This trade not only makes us a better team in the short-term, it helps create long-term flexibility for us, which all along has been one of our top priorities.â€
"I'm very excited right now,†Gagne said in a team release. "I'm looking at this opportunity as a new challenge and a new start. Tampa Bay was a team I was more than willing to waive my no move clause for. I really like the direction the team is headed in with a solid owner, Steve Yzerman as GM and Coach Boucher. I'm really looking forward to playing with guys like Lecavalier, Stamkos and St. Louis. I'm excited to be a member of the Lightning and I'm looking forward to starting next season in Tampa Bay.â€
In the past two months, Yzerman has dumped a $5.7M cap hit over the next three years on Philadelphia, while adding a 2012 second rounder (for Meszaros) and a much-coveted top-6 forward.
If Gagne can stay healthy - a big if - the Lightning's top-6 forwards are as good or better than most teams' in the league. Yzerman will no doubt spend the remainder of the offseason plugging in affordable holes in the bottom-6 and at the back of the defense.
In terms of prospects, in the short term, this means one of Matt Lashoff, Vladimir Mihalik, and Matt Smaby - all waiver eligible - could slot in as the No.6.
Also, the chances of Brett Connolly or Carter Ashton being rushed and getting a top-6 job just went from mediocre to very low. Ashton has the ability to excel as a third line forward, but with Dana Tyrell and James Wright perfect for that role, along with Johan Harju, it hardly seems necessary. Teddy Purcell and recently signed Niklas Persson also are third line possibilities. Ashton can return to Regina if he fails to make the Lightning. He cannot play in the AHL.
Lightning Shore Up Net; Sign Dan Ellis for Two YearsSubmitted by timothy on July 1, 2010 - 16:56
TSN is reporting that Dan Ellis has signed a two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, just two days after being acquired by the Canadiens from Nashville, for a contract is worth $1.5 million per year.
The Habs acquired the 30-year-old Ellis on Tuesday (along with forward Dustin Boyd and future considerations), sending Sergei Kostitsyn and future considerations to the Nashville Predators.
Ellis had a .909 save percentage and 2.69 goals against average in 31 games last season with the Preds. For Ellis, he will reunite with former Iowa Stars teammate and friend Mike Smith as the apparent goaltending tandem for the Bolts next season.
Bolts Deal Andrej MeszarosSubmitted by timothy on July 1, 2010 - 11:20
TSN is reporting that the Tampa Bay Lightning have traded defenceman Andrej Meszaros to the Philadelphia Flyers for a 2012 second round pick.
Meszaros, 24, had six goals and 11 assists in 81 games with the Lightning last season.
This trade just ahead of the today's opening of free agency clears a significant long-term contract off the books for new GM Steve Yzerman is his reshaping of the Lightning roster. More details to follow.
Confirmed: Simek Signs Tryout Deal With Dynamo RigaSubmitted by pete on June 27, 2010 - 18:55
The blog Latvian Hockey is confirming that forward Juraj Simek, who has played in the Lightning organization for the past two seasons with Norfolk, has signed a tryout deal with KHL club Dynamo Riga. Dynamo Riga was also the club last season for fellow Lightning prospect Martins Karsums.

The FitWet Jet Bike combines an exercise bike and a hot tub
By C.C. Weiss
October 8, 2012
Relaxation and vigorous exercise rarely coexist, but the FitWet Jet Bike brings them together – sort of. The contraption is a unique piece of exercise equipment that combines a stationary (underwater) bike with a personal jetted tub. Exercise just got a little more attractive.
It's no secret that underwater workouts have fitness advantages over regular workouts. Due to the increased resistance of water versus air, walking in the water provides a more intense workout and burns more calories than walking on dry land. Water also serves as a sort of natural shock absorber, helping to limit stress and pain on joints.
So if walking underwater is a better workout, why not cycling? Well mostly because riding a bike underwater would be difficult, uncomfortable and, maybe, outright impossible. It also wouldn't be too forgiving on the bike.
The Jet Bike experiments with the concept of underwater cycling. It is designed to work underwater, FitWet claims that 30 minutes of Jet Biking is equivalent to two hours on a standard bike. The Jet Bike is designed to work your quads, butt muscles, thighs, abdominal muscles, calves and more, with FitWet claiming it burns up to 800 calories an hour.
Like walking underwater, the Jet Bike also offers a comfortable, low impact workout environment. The water keeps you cool and comfortable despite the added challenge. Best of all, its 12 jets massage and relax your muscles while you pedal. They're also supposed to help reduce cellulite – but doesn't everything? Either way, a whirlpool spin certainly sounds better than a grueling, up-and-down ride in mid-summer heat.
The cyclist controls the Jet Bike by way of an interactive touchscreen, which also displays both heart rate and calories burned. You can't politely wipe your sweat off this particular exercise bike, but you are expected to flush – the bike is designed to flush out the water after each use, preventing it from become a festering pool of salty sweat water.
FitWet didn't respond to several inquiries about availability and pricing, but we're guessing it'll be significantly more than the standard exercise bikes collecting dust in homes around the world. A gym like the one in the video below would be an ideal place to try before you buy. We'll just go ahead and wait for one of those to open up in our neck of the woods. Until then, we'll have to be content with a post-ride dip in the hot tub.
Souce: Fit Wet
Interesting idea but an 800 calories/hour work out in a hot tub would be heat exhaustion warm.
It seems like it is more about going to a gym/spa to meet other half naked people though which isn't necessarily a bad thing.Daishi
another wasteful stupid idea that the rich and famous will probable eat upRobert Moynihan
Presumably the water would get dumped and refilled per use...otherwise, that's gonna be quite a flavorful soup in there. Judging from experience the average poseur at a hipster gym only lasts about 15 minutes tops on a bike, so that's how many gallons of water wasted?
The proposed 800 calories per hour is only good if the user actually pedaled. It's hard to imagine someone who hasn't enough willpower/discipline to spin 120 RPM's on a normal exercise bike would maintain any kind of reasonable cadence floating in a hot tub. What would be really compelling is that how high you float is dependent on your rpm. Stop pedalling, and you drown...that'll get you going I'm sure.
Gyms will also love the puddle water leading from the bike to the showers.sk8dad
The concept is no novelty. It is called aquabike. Only this time, it fits in a bathtube, which can be easily used by (rich) individuals. Spas and fitness with swimming pools will obviously not use since it would be overly expensive while they can offer aquabike courses. As for other fitness clubs... well... it will add lots of extra managerial work to provide clean water (I totally agree with previous comments warning about hygiene). I am not sure clubs will be willing to go through this kind of hassle since you will have to isolate such machine and/or supervise it to make sure it gets cleaned before someone uses it. Lots of extra costs ahead...Pulsar
What a waste of perfectly clean water.Fretting Freddy the Ferret pressing the Fret
Everyone seems to be worried about the wasted water. It is unnecessary. Recycled water has been required for use in all car washes in California for many years. Watering lawns and plants there , can only be done with "grey water" not tap water, and filtering the water is not difficult, or expensive, it has been done in swimming pools for a very long time. Several bike tanks could have a common filtering/treatment system, and falling waste water can also be used to recover some of the electric power used. (at least one of these waste water turbines was featured on Gizmag) (Ed. This might be what you're thinking of: http://www.gizmag.com/highdro-power/15805/) Water can be used several times, and in several different ways before it must be run through a city purification process.kellory
Thank you, that is one such device I can recall, there is also a gutter downspout version made already that uses rain water to charge batteries and such. There is also no reason I can see, why the bike itself could not generate power, while it is in use. It already has feedback on heart rate and calorie count, so why not put the calories to work?kellory
Surely, this is an excuse to wear less clothing at gyms for the "I work out to be see" crowd.sk8dad

definition of Wikipedia

A chemical structure includes molecular geometry, electronic structure and crystal structure of molecules. Molecular geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together. Molecular geometry can range from the very simple, such as diatomic oxygen or nitrogen molecules, to the very complex, such as protein or DNA molecules. Molecular geometry can be roughly represented using a structural formula. Electronic structure describes the occupation of a molecule's molecular orbitals.
The theory of chemical structure was developed in the 1850s and 1860s by several chemists, including Friedrich August Kekule, Archibald Scott Couper, and Aleksandr Butlerov. These chemists demonstrated that the chemical compounds are not not composed of random clusters of atoms and functional groups, but have structures with a definite order formed according the valency of the composing atoms.
Structural determination in chemistry is the process of determining the chemical structure of molecules. Practically, the end result of such process is the obtainment of the coordinates of the atoms in a molecule.[1] The methods by which one can determine the structure of a molecule include spectroscopy, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and x-ray crystallography (x-ray diffraction). The last technique can produce three-dimensional models at atomic-scale resolution, as long as crystals are available, as x-ray diffraction needs numerous copies of the molecule being studied that must also be arranged in an organised way.[1]
The following are common methods for determining the chemical structure (Structural elucidation) :

New Developments on International Wagering
(Edited Scientific Games press release)
Scientific Games Racing, a division of Scientific Games Corporation, has announced that it has reached an agreement to provide Betfair Games Limited with services and technologies to allow all Betfair account holders to view race and pool data and wager into North American pari-mutuel tote pools, with approval of relevant regulatory authorities.
The agreement could also enable bets into tote pools of European and other international racetracks.
SGR will provide access and connectivity through its Essen Data Center and International Gateway in Germany.
"Following the acquisition of TVG, Betfair has been looking to enhance its US racing product offering." Said Betfair's head of horse racing development, Steven Johnson. "We are delighted to link up with Scientific Games, which will give our customers access to the host track pools of a number of North American racetracks, bringing overseas money into the pools and giving a new revenue stream to the US racetracks. We will start offering this service this month, ahead of the Breeders Cup. This deal will now enable Betfair customers to bet into tote pools, not only in the US, but in the UK, Ireland, Australia and South Africa as well, with hopefully more jurisdictions to follow."

Electricity is way too cheap here to be a factor on anything unless you're literally watching every nickel- in which case you should be gaming on a Nintendo DS, not a computer.
If I owned where I lived electricity consumption would not concern me.
However I do not. I'm renting from my best friend. And I don't care enough about this to argue over it with him. If he wants me to have a small electric foot print even when it seems illogical then I'll do so. It really doesn't matter.
Not only that I've yet to find a game in my library that this 5870 can't play at 1920 x 1200. Only play DX:HR right now but even while underclocked as far as CCC will allow this 5870 demolishes DX:HR all maxed in-game settings. Well, my opinion of "demolishes" that is. Haven't had fraps running while playing but I've yet to see any slow downs that have interfered with gameplay.
If the 7 series doesn't offer what I'm hoping for, I'll just not upgrade.
It's amazing how quickly "know-it-alls" such as your self jump to conclusions. Why is my decisions of any concern to you? I see your post as nothing more than bait to attempt to build up nVidia some how- you always seem to have an agenda to that end.

Petrified lightning
Sand turned into glass by a lightning strike can provide clues about ancient climates.
By Emily Sohn, 00:00 AM February 16, 2007
Lightning has amazing powers. One bolt heats the air to 30,000 degrees C. That's five times as hot as the surface of the sun. Lightning can frighten pets and kids, start fires, destroy trees, and kill people.
Lightning also has the power to make glass.
When lightning strikes the ground, it fuses sand in the soil into tubes of glass called fulgurites.

Jermain Defoe will be happy if Tottenham buy more strikers this summer.
With Emmanuel Adebayor expected to leave White Hart Lane this summer, 30-year-old Defoe will be the only senior striker left.
He said: "I'm a forward but I can't be the only forward at a club. Over the years, the clubs who've won titles have had several strikers.
"When Manchester United won the Treble in 1999 they had unbelievable forwards like Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Dwight Yorke — you need that.
"If you want to do well it's important to have competition.
"It will definitely help us to bring more goals into the team."

Failed Mideast peace talks moving ball to UN court
ISRAELIS: It took decades for Israelis to widely accept that the displaced did not all "flee" - that at least half were expelled - and that it was wishful thinking to expect they would ever simply blend into the wider Arab world. Still, Israelis generally have no patience for the "right of return," noting the world is full of resettled refugees, including 800,000 Jews who left Arab countries for Israel in its early years, many under great duress. In their view, a Palestinian "right of return" would eliminate the country's character as a Jewish state - a nonstarter considering that it is to preserve the Jewishness of Israel that many are willing to cede the valuable West Bank. Many Israelis were genuinely surprised when this emerged in 2000 as a deal-breaker. With only 6 million Jews in Israel, the demographics make this a red line for Israelis. They are hoping resettlement in a future Palestine, or compensation, will satisfy the descendants of refugees.
ISRAELIS: For the Israelis this is the essence: to have a nation-state as much for the Jews as Ireland is for the Irish. While it is true that Israel always will have a large Arab minority - it currently is about a fifth of the population - they would have equal civil rights as individuals, but not separate national rights. The Jewish character of the state is enshrined in matters great and small, from the flag to the lyrics of the anthem to automatic Israeli citizenship for any Jew requesting it.
PALESTINIANS: Palestinians bristle at the "Jewish nation" label, arguing that it is an outdated affront that renders some 1.5 million Arabs second-class citizens. Along with some leftist Israelis, they want to redefine the country as a "state of all its citizens," and where needed change symbols and policies accordingly. Increasingly, some Palestinians actually seem content to avoid partition altogether and let Israel and the West Bank, and maybe Gaza, stay joined at the hip with roughly equal numbers of Jews and Arabs, they reason, such a tormented hybrid entity hardly would be a "Jewish state."

KOLKATA: The West Bengal government on Thursday promised to take all possible administrative action if 'certain political forces did not desist from adopting undemocratic and illegal methods' to jeopardise the Tata Motors' small car project at Singur.
State industry and commerce minister Nirupam Sen made this stament a day after the Tata Motors' managing director Ravi Kant hinted the management was losing patience over the tension at Singur over the project.
At the same time, Sen said the state government had kept its doors open for further negotiations on improved compensation. "We are ready for any negotiation except return of land to unwilling farmers, since that is not permissible under the law," Sen said.
Admitting that Kant's worries were quite justified, Sen said here the state government would ensure all possible security for the project as well as Tata Motors employees in Singur. "I would like to convey to Kant that the state government will ensure all possible cooperation to get the project sailing as per schedule."
For the last couple of days, the Trinamool Congress-led Singur Krishijami Raksha Committee (Save Singur Farmland Committee) had been heckling engineers and workers deputed at the project. There are reports that committee activists had been threatening them with dire consequences unless they left Singur. They also threatened people who rented rooms to the outstation workers. "We will take all measures so that such things are not repeated. We have stepped up police arrangements," Sen announced.
Confirming Sen's statement, a senior Bengal police officer informed: "We have also deployed plain-clothes sleuths to track down anti-socials threatening the workers."
Sen lamented it was quite unfortunate that a project of such magnitude, which could put West Bengal on the global automobile map, had to be commissioned under strict police surveillance. He quoted an observation by the supreme court which clearly stated that land once acquired by the government against compensation cannot be returned to the erstwhile landowner.
Asked if Samajwadi Party chief Amar Singh's recent assurance to the Trinamool Congress to stand by it on this issue was supported by the Centre, Sen said, "I do not think so".

The Rise and Fall of the World's Most Brazen Twitter Clones
- By Katelyn FossettKatelyn Fossett is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy. A native of Kentucky, she has previously written for the Inter Press Service and Washington Monthly. She holds a bachelor's degree from Columbia University.
Twitter shares hit a high of $50 on Thursday in its first day of trading. It's a sizable opening-day pop, given that the initial public offering price was initially marked at somewhere near half of that. The opening generated a lot of buzz among investors, in large part because, despite having yet to turn a profit, the micromessaging site has a staggering global reach. There are more than 230 million tweeters worldwide, and more than three-quarters of them are outside the United States. But perhaps the surest sign of Twitter's worldwide popularity is the number of knockoffs — sometimes subtle, sometimes outrageous — that it has inspired across the globe. Below, we bring you some of the best that, unfortunately, never made it to their own public debut. Here are the top five foreign Twitter clone fails.
Futubra. There was considerable hype over "Russia's Twitter," Futubra, which was launched in early 2012 by Mail.ru, the multibillion-dollar Russian company behind several successful Russian social networking sites. In a farewell note published on its website, the developers explained that their improvements weren't enough for "sustained growth of the project" — a mere 11 months after its initial launch. The failure of a Twitter copycat might have been somewhat of a surprise given the comparative success of the Russian-language VKontakte, a Facebook rip-off that has a consistently top position among Russian networking sites. In an interview with Roem in December 2012, Mail.ru chairman and CEO Dmitriy Grishin conceded that the experiment, while "interesting," "went differently than planned."
Jiwai. This local Chinese variant of Twitter was "all the rage" a couple of years ago in China, according to the British IT news site the Register. Jiwai's interface did not have the same soft blue color theme of Twitter; instead, it adopted a punchier orange that led bloggers to swear it was an entirely different micromessaging animal. But Jiwai did keep the basic "tweeting" theme by keeping a small bird in the corner. While Jiwai was shut down in 2009 after its use during uprisings in Urumqi, the popularity of micromessaging endures in China. The well-known Twitteresque site Weibo has 56 million daily users; in April, China's eBay equivalent, Alibaba, bought an 18 percent stake in the company for $586 million. The popularity of the site might have major implications for China's heavy-handed censorship, leading some observers to call Weibo a "democratizing force."
Frazr. The Samwer brothers, known for their investment in the German Facebook copycat StudiVZ, were also behind Frazr, the French and German Twitter knockoff. This imitation didn't try to steal the aesthetic theme of Twitter, but it did steal the question at the top of the page from the original Twitter. "Everyone wants to know," the page says at the top in German or French, "Was machst Du?" or "Tu fai quoi?" ("What are you doing?")
Zuosa. Zuosa was one of the first sites in China's fleet of Twitter clones. It was launched in 2007, two years before the better-known Weibo. TechNode reported in May 2012 that the site would be closing by the next month, citing inadequate resources. The site, which used the same light blue home page theme as Twitter, made pretty halfhearted attempts to mask its obvious riff, calling followers "fans" and asking the equivalent of "What's up?" instead of Twitter's initial "What are you doing?"
Turulcsirip. As Turulcsirip's light blue background and bird in the upper corner of the site indicate, this Hungarian copycat was going for a full-on physical imitation of Twitter. The site "unexpectedly" announced its termination in February 2012. While there are obvious similarities with Twitter, a Hungarian Wikipedia page would like to remind you of the major differences: For instance, some of the content automatically refreshed itself, and it even had a default chat setting for instant messaging.
Apparently, a company doesn't even have to be profitable to be the envy of the world.

LifeShare Blood Centers reports dwindling blood supply, urges donations
Shreveport-based LifeShare Blood Centers says its supply of O-negative and B-negative blood has dropped to very low levels and it's urging anyone with these blood types to donate, if possible.
It's ramped up its donation events with 40 planned over the next four days in north and central Louisiana and south Arkansas. LifeShare spokeswoman Tina Hooper said donations normally dip during the holidays and that means the supply in January is generally a bit lower. She said LifeShare is drawing on its reserves with only about a two-day supply on hand.
"Now it's kind of catching up with us. That cushion that we have to make sure supply is available in case there is increased usage - in case of emergency - we're pulling from that supply and it's dwindling down to that couple days right now," Hooper said.
LifeShare's shortage is not unique. Hooper said blood banks nationwide are dealing with reduced supplies for a variety of reasons. O-negative, the universal donor that all blood types can take, is especially in demand.
"Many of the blood centers are struggling, particularly for the O-negative blood type. Those up North for obvious reasons have had a lot of closures with the blood drives. So then when we're all in our last day, we're not willing to give any up unless it's that matter of life and death. We have to take care of our own community first," Hooper said.
LifeShare has a list of donation events on its website sorted by zip code. Hooper said her organization supplies close to 100,000 blood units a year to hospitals and medical facilities in this region. The supply will stabilize, she estimates, if 200 people with O-negative and B-negative blood come forward to donate.
