Google exec's prostitute eyed over second death
Relevant offers
A high-priced prostitute charged in the overdose death of a Google executive aboard a yacht in California had searched online for how to legally defend herself after giving a lethal dose of heroin, police in California say.
Meanwhile, authorities in Georgia reopened another overdose case involving the same suspect, Alix Tichelman.
Bar owner Dean Riopelle, 53, died of a heroin overdose in September 2013 in Milton, Georgia, about two months before Google executive Forrest Hayes died of an overdose on his yacht. Both had been seeing Tichelman, authorities said.
Milton police Captain Shawn McCarty said Tichelman, 26, called emergency dispatchers on September 17 to report that Riopelle, her boyfriend, had overdosed. She told investigators that he had been drinking and using heroin throughout the day, and that she found him on the ground after she got out of a shower.
According to a police report, Tichelman said she tried to revive Riopelle for about five minutes before she called for help. She told police that he had been having a rough time but did not believe he overdosed intentionally.
Riopelle died a week later.
Tichelman has been described as a high-end prostitute by police in California, where she is charged with manslaughter in Hayes' death.
"Both subjects in these cases died of heroin overdoses so there's just several factors we want to look at to make sure that we didn't miss anything," McCarty said.
Just before Riopelle's death, Tichelman had been arrested on a battery charge after Riopelle told police that she bit his hand during an argument.
Riopelle had said that the woman took pills before they went to a bar he owned in Atlanta, where she drank, dove off the stage and exposed her breasts. After they returned to his home, they fought. She scratched his face and threatened to hit herself in the face and tell police he had done it, Riopelle said at the time.
In the California case, police say surveillance video shows Tichelman casually walking over Hayes as he lay dying on his yacht, picking up clothes and heroin and swallowing the last of a glass of wine before lowering the boat's blinds and walking back on the dock to shore.
Hayes was found dead by the captain of his 15-metre yacht last November. Police said the surveillance video from the yacht shows everything that happened from the time Tichelman came aboard to when she left.
Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said Hayes, 51, had hired Tichelman before, and that their November 23 encounter was a mutually consensual one, including the introduction of the heroin.
The video shows Tichelman preparing the heroin and injecting it into Hayes' arm. Shortly after, Hayes started clutching his chest, near his heart, Clark said. Tichelman tries to prop him up, but he then loses consciousness.
Tichelman then picks up her belongings, including the needle, and cleans up a counter while stepping over Hayes several times. During that time, Tichelman calmly drinks a glass of wine and surveys the scene, Clark said.
Tichelman then goes outside, looks back inside, pulls down a window blind, closes a door and leaves, Clark said.
"Never does she call 911 or call out to others in nearby boats for help. She never tries to administer any aid to him," Clark said about Tichelman. Clark added that investigators learned that Tichelman later did online searches "on how to defend herself after giving a lethal dose of heroin."
Tichelman was arrested on July 4 after police said a detective lured her back to the Santa Cruz area by posing as a potential client at an upscale resort.
Police said Tichelman boasted she had more than 200 clients and met them through a website that purports to connect wealthy men and women with attractive companions. Her clients included other Silicon Valley executives, Clark said. Silicon Valley is home to about 50 billionaires and tens of thousands of millionaires.
Tichelman's father has ties to the tech industry. Folsom software firm SynapSense announced hiring her father, Bart Tichelman in 2012. Neither the firm nor her father responded to immediate requests for comment.
She is being held on US$1.5 million (NZ$1.7m) bail after appearing in court on Wednesday (local time) wearing red jail scrubs.

The wily Nibris have released some new info about the storyline of upcoming Wii title Sadness.
You play a young woman named Maria who survives a devastating train wreck. She has a younger brother named Alexander. He is blinded by the accident and begins acting strangely (sudden blindness might do that to you). Apparently you have to "use your environment to survive". Exciting stuff, but why didn't they just call the emergency services? Who knows. More info as and when we get it.

By far the biggest problem I have with the current crop of laptops and ultraportable notebooks is that their screens become all but useless when taken outside. You might be able to read them out on a dark, dreary day, but get in any kind of sunlight, and you'll probably spend most of your time squinting and using your hand to shade the display. And that's with the screen cranked to full brightness, which chews through your battery life.
Enterprising hobbyists with 10.1" netbooks now have an alternative: a DIY display kit from Pixel Qi. For those unfamiliar with Pixel Qi, here's the skinny on the company's display tech directly from its website:
Like standard backlit LCD displays, Pixel Qi displays renders quality full-color images, full-motion video, and high screen brightness. However, in environments with high ambient light levels, the 3Qi's reflective mode contributes to the image, allowing the backlight to be turned down or off. This unique capability delivers significant power savings, an attractive screen and a comfortable reading experience, with very high resolution. Outdoors, Pixel Qi's Transflective 2.0 technology comes into play - each pixel is mainly reflective, but has about the same transmissive efficiency as a standard LCD, enabling the user to experience a crisp image with excellent contrast and *brightness* in any light. This highly "green" LCD consumes 80 percent less power in reflective mode, yet delivers a better contrast ratio and equivalent reflectance typical of the best electrophoretic displays.
The display will cost you $275, which is nearly as much as an entire netbook. Pixel Qi will only confirm compatibility with Lenovo S10-2 and Samsung N130 at the moment, although the company says it's testing other models. With the supported laptops, a screen swap is said to take only 5-10 minutes. Make has posted a video of the process, which indeed looks pretty straightforward, and they don't even use one of the recommended laptops.
Suddenly, my old Eee PC 1000HA has become a lot more interesting.

Report Abuse
dont know - but there was a great movie done there a few years ago called 'City Island'.
Report Abuse
I grew up about 20 minutes from there. Never went swimming there, just out for a nice seafood dinner once in awhile during the summer.
I was back in NY last summer, we were driving by so figured we would go take a look see. It was a drive down to the end of City Island Ave and then back, then over to the beach. We didn't even get out of the car.
I wouldn't make a special trip there and it certainly isn't a day trip destination.
Report Abuse
Saw that move, zootsi. It was really good.
DebitNM, sorry to hear that. Use to love that place.
Report Abuse
Was there a few months ago. I think it is pretty much the same as ever, restaurants about the same too. Go, if your feeling nostalgic. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Report Abuse
Whatever you do, do not go during a summer weekend, the traffic is maddening. I must admit we have not have been there in about two years, but the restaurants there are always better in theory. Nostalgia is a completely different reason.
Report Abuse
Nostalgia would be my reason for going. As I get older, I get more of a desire to revisit "old haunts".

That's funny. I was just there this weekend with our family. We decided to get together and go to Johnny's Reef all the way at the end. In the past, we have opted for a sit down restaurant such as Crab Shanty or Sammy's etc. For nostalgia's sake, we decided to go to the Reef as we did when we were kids. I admit we had fun. Food was cheap, drinks were cheap weather was good and it was not crowded. Just grab a table and enjoy. Completely uncomplicated. It is not that the place has changed. It is that we have grown up and experienced much more sophisticated seafood and ambiance. Still it was fun, we took our kids and sat for a while watching the seagulls and the sailboats going by.
I would not go out of my way, but if you are in the area, why not. Just don't go in the summer. Traffic is horrible. By the way, the movie has nothing to do with City Island but the main characters supposedly live there. It was a good movie to watch nonetheless.

Karunas does not want to be Vadivelu
January 13th, 2009
Karunas's Dindugal Sarathy is a great success like that of Vadivelu's 23-m Pulikesi, but Karunas does not want to do one more lead role as he does not want to taste Vadivelu's Indira Logam!
Karunas is so happy about the success of his movie - courtesy - Sun TV, at the same time he is not ready to take risk doing another movie in a lead role.
According to him, he want to be known as a comedy actor and never as a hero!
Karunas, also here by declares that he will come back as a hero, only in a movie that has a strong story and will wait for another 4 to 5 years seaching for the same.

Quick, what's your perfect day in New York City? Does it entail a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and a romantic dinner at a three-Michelin-star restaurant? Or a shopping spree among SoHo's boutiques followed by orchestra seats for the latest Broadway hit? Maybe a Yankees game-hot dogs and cold beer included-is what tops your list of must-dos.

Hotelier, entrepreneur, and born-and-bred New Yorker Ivanka Trump has her own version, which crisscrosses Manhattan. Because let's face it-you'll never find a consensus on what constitutes the perfect NYC day.

Floating Into Summer
It all started many years ago, presumably with the root beer float. And why not? It is the perfect dessert, particularly in summertime. Simple to prepare, cold, rich, effervescent, creamy, sassafrassy. Plus, it comes in a fancy, tall glass and can be eaten with a spoon and sipped through a straw, each mode of intake offering a totally different experience. Somewhere between then and now, the float has been taken in seemingly endless directions, and each time I think I've heard it all, some new twist comes along.
Some float renditions feature fruit flavored sodas, such as black cherry or blueberry, and with new brands of natural fruit sodas such as Fizzy Lizzy and Hot Lips, the flavor combinations are endless. Other floats play off of the flavors of cream soda or ginger ale and instead of vanilla ice cream, come with chocolate ice cream or fruity sorbets. This recipe for a raspberry ice cream and ginger ale float is one of my favorite flavor combinations.
Classic creamsicle fans have been known to recreate their childhood favorite with orange soda and vanilla ice cream, but newer versions I've seen feature orange soda and chocolate ice cream, orange soda and mango sorbet and even grapefruit soda and vanilla ice cream.
Not long ago I learned about a new float craze featuring rich, dark beer, such as Guinness Stout, and vanilla ice cream. I was skeptical when I first tried it, but have to admit that there is something about the frothy, bitter beer and the creamy, vanilla ice cream that really works well together. Not surprisingly, the beer float is now also being tweaked with new takes and twists. For St. Patrick's day this year the blogger Food Blogga offered an interesting twist on the beer float that used a Kona coffee infused beer and coffee ice cream and the website Epicurious features a recipe for a vanilla-stout float spiked with a shot of blackberry brandy.
The variations are obviously endless and I'm sure it won't be long before we start seeing more savory floats become popular, such as those incorporating herb or vegetable based sorbets topped off with sparkling water or sparkling wine. I can imagine flavors such as basil, tarragon, fennel or beets each providing a really interesting new twist on this old classic.
