Adventure: Hiking in Moore Creek Park in Napa
Eating: Genova Delicatessen
CRAVE: A delicious custom sando enjoyed atop the rolling Napa hills
Napa is, of course, synonymous with great wine and food — but there's actually another side to this area that is a much cheaper venture than a day spent being chauffeured around to wine tastings (but let's be real, I do love that as well).
Surprisingly, Napa brings its A-game when it comes to hiking.
A few Saturdays ago, my boyfriend and I decided to do a quick day-trip north, but wanted to do something that was outside of the usual wine-infused activities. Sometimes, unfortunately, all you can associate Napa with is wine and, with sprawls of vineyards everywhere, you wouldn't really think this a hiking location.
But then you'd be thinking wrong.
After Yelping parks and hikes in the area we would be around, I decided we were going to chance it: we were going to go on a hike with only 4 reviews.
Now, these 4 reviews were for Moore Creek Park and were great reviews, but only 4? Why aren't more people checking out this spot? What's the catch here?
The quality of this hike could really go either way.
Regardless of if the hike was going to be enjoyable or not, hikes always require being prepared with nourishment. We popped into Genova Delicatessen ordering a few sandwiches to go, planning to savor them as a reward partway through our adventure.
We drove another twenty minutes through neighboring vineyards, pulling into a small parking lot nestled just past a long lake and tucked back between two rolling hills.
I was incredibly surprised by how beautiful our hike was. We started in the low valley, walking along a noisy, active creek (thanks El Niño) on the Moore Creek Trail.
Coming to the edge of the creek you have the option to cross several wooden planks up the next section of the stream continuing on the trail to the secret swimming pool. We didn't venture this route on this trip, but I would definitely be encouraged to return later and explore it!
Instead, we chose to take the Valentine Vista Trail, looping up the mountainous hillside for a little over a mile at a steep grade before becoming a bit easier.
Sitting atop the hillside, we enjoyed our sandwiches after our sweaty ascent.
Genova Delicatessen makes great sandwiches with fresh sandwich stuffings and breads for the complete package. Customize your own (like my turkey/ham sandwich above) or go with one of their specialty sandwiches.
Most of their specialty sandwiches focus around a few ingredients and usually include ham or prosciutto. Above, a simple sandwich, the #1 of ham, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella.
The hardest part is over, you've had your sandwiches, now it's time to enjoy the rest of the meandering path. The trail continues along the hillside with the valley several hundred yards below it.
Many streams trickle down the hillside, meadows of green grass, and fields of poppies populate your walk.
Used to redwood hikes, I honestly thought a hike through Napa meadows would feel mundane, but the open spaces and greener was stunning!
After a few more miles, the trail quickly drops down back into the parking lot. A few hours later and you will have had a decent sweat, satisfied your appetite and got your Vitamin-D sunshine all in one stunning outing.

Berger: Cooper Should Resign Since He Won't Defend State Law, Protect Children's Safety
Raleigh, N.C. – Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) responded Tuesday to Attorney General Roy Cooper's announcement that he will not defend a state law passed with bipartisan support stopping men from entering public bathrooms and locker rooms with young girls and women.
"Roy Cooper's refusal to defend the law makes clear he wants the ACLU to win by default in federal court what they can't win at the ballot box and allow men to walk into locker rooms at YMCAs across our country and undress in front of young girls," said Berger. "His zeal for pandering for the extreme left's money and agenda in his race for governor is making it impossible for him to fulfill his duties as attorney general – and he should resign immediately."

It's a foggy day at Roundtop, a bit warmer than it was a few days ago. I'm still not as mobile as usual, so the photo this morning isn't from somewhere in the forest. The stone foundation in the photo is all that's left of an old house and barn that was part of the original Roundtop property. You can also still see the remains of the old road that led up to the house. That's the open, slightly sunken area in the foreground.
I still have more leaves remaining on the trees than is normal for this time of year. I don't know why they're hanging on so long, especially since they are all dried up and have lost their prettiness. The color of the leaves that have fallen to the forest floor is the same as those still hanging on the trees, so it's all a monochromatic brown right now.
Dog and Baby Dog are missing their usual long morning walks, as am I. I try to make it up to them by spending the same amount of time outside with them, if not walking. Dog finds this compromise a reasonable one. He busily sniffs all around, as though he's never done that before, then returns to me for a good butt rub. Baby Dog is less understanding. She will stand at the end of the driveway, looking back at me as though she can't figure out why we're not heading out on our usual route.

Expectations, background
Every day, local governments need to decide something, plan something and get new ideas about something. The best way to do this is to start from the very beginning, from mapping the general context and background for the decision. It is also important to map the expectations of (but also resistance from) all the target groups that this plan or decision may affect.
Questions that should be answered before beginning e-participatory decision-making are the following:
1. What is the aim of (e-)participation: to get feedback on the plans of the local government or generate new ideas and suggestions? What specific goals should the process help achieve?
2. Do the organizational culture and work processes that the local government has allow participation processes to be conducted and e-participation to be applied successfully? What changes are necessary for that?
3. In which instances should residents be consulted before decision-making?
4. How prepared are the residents to participate in the process, including via e-channels?

There's an old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". It's no secret that apples are great for us humans, but what about dogs? Can dogs eat apples? The short answer would be yes, dogs can eat apples. Apples are full of vitamin C and vitamin K as well as calcium and pectin – a soluble fiber. If your dog has a taste for apples, then it can be the perfect healthy treat.
Dogs Can Eat Apples But Not the Seeds
Can dogs eat apples? Yes, as long as you remove the seeds. Apple seeds contain cyanide which can upset your dog's tummy, and in large quantities, they can cause more serious problems. For this reason, I would not recommend that you feed your dog apple cores. Additionally, you should avoid feeding your dog whole apples, since a whole apple can get caught in her throat and I don't need to point out how badly that could end.
Apples are Good for Your Doggy, but Only in Small Quantities
If you feed your dog too many apples, this wholesome treat can turn into something unhealthy and problematic. Eating too many apples can cause problems in your dog's digestive system.
How to Feed Apples to Your Dog
I would recommend to cut the apple into little slices, and to use the slices as treats. You could also get more creative and use apple slices or sauce as a topping on her dinner or even make her apple pops.
In conclusion, dogs can eat apples and in fact, apples are quite good for them. Not only do the vitamins and other valuable nutrients benefit a dog's health in general but the process of eating an apple can help to keep her teeth healthy and breath fresh. I'd recommend making apples a regular part of your dog's diet, however keep in mind that your dog should not eat the seeds and avoid feeding her too many apples at once.
If your dog doesn't seem to like apples, then that's okay too. While apples can be good for your dog's health, they are definitely not a necessary part of a canine diet. Besides, you could try feeding your dog a few pieces of pear instead. Maybe your dog prefers pears to apples?

Never has this process (manipulation of the population) been as blatant and overt as in recent years when the time has come for America to legitimize the idea of global domination. A Department of Defense report titled Joint Vision 2020 calls for the US military to be capable of "full spectrum dominance" of the entire planet. That means total domination and control of all land, sea, air, space and information.
For Columbus Day, read the full article and see if your neck hairs stand up straight like mine did. Enjoy.
Thanks Vivian

We are delighted to announce that Pol Roger Portfolio's Director of Wine, Cassidy Dart, has become a Master of Wine, as announced by the Institute of Masters of Wine on Friday.
Cassidy is now one of 370 Masters of Wine living in 28 countries, and the second Member working at Pol Roger Portfolio, joining our Managing Director, James Simpson MW.
The Master of Wine examination, recognised worldwide for its rigour and high standards, consists of three stages, including theory and practical exams, and culminates in the submission of a final research paper, an in-depth study on a wine-related topic from any area of the sciences, arts, humanities, or social sciences. Cassidy's research paper was entitled 'The Swartland in transition; obscurity to recognition 2010-2016'.
In addition to passing the examination, all MWs are required to sign the MW code of conduct before they are entitled to use the initials MW. The code of conduct requires MWs to act with honesty and integrity and to use every opportunity to share their understanding of wine with others.
Congratulations Cassidy!

So, here I am providing all the things I look for Relationship Timing Consultation with an example of Imran Khan's Chart who recently announced his 3rd marriage. There are few reasons why I chose Imran's chart and the reasons are as follows -
- This chart exactly shows the importance of the concept of Chart + Dasha + Transit = Event. It means that 1st event should be allowed in chart then dashas should activate those houses or planets which are promising the event and then transits should impact the same houses or planets to finally manifest the event. So, chart or dasha or transit alone may not be able to manifest the event.
- Second thing is that this event of Imran's 3rd marriage actually shows that why it is always the 7th house of relation/marriage which should be looked for relationship prediction, no matter how many times someone is getting married. This is something which I tried to explain theoretically in my article on Second or Subsequent Marriage (http://astrosaxena.com/2marriage) and now we have an example here.
- Last but not the least, you will get to know all the steps I follow for Marriage Consultation. So, you can find your marriage timing by your own self.
So, here we go.
Birth Chart - Imran Khan was born on 5th Oct, 1952. 11.50 am at Lahore, Pakistan. On internet and other astrology sites you can find different birth details and different chart but I have got this info from a friend at Lahore :). So, I have more reasons to trust it. He is Sagittarius ascendant with Mars in 1st house showing him as fighter or sports person. Rahu in 2nd house/Capricorn. Jupiter-Moon conjunction in 5th house/Aries. Ketu in 8th house/Cancer. Sun-Saturn-Mercury in 10th house/Virgo. Venus in 11th house/Libra.
So, 1st indication is that he has no yoga which can deny relationship. Saturn in 10th house limits the relationship to a great deal and it is very tough to have a long term meaningful relationship as Saturn aspects the 7th house but it is still not the case of denial of relation. Now, as we know that chart is allowing relation, we can look for the timing of relationship on the base of following points -
2nd house and lord of 2nd house – 2nd house of horoscope is a house of Family Life. So to know the timing of marriage, we take this house into consideration. He has Capricorn sign there. Capricorn lord is Saturn. So, lord of 2nd house is Saturn.
7th house and lord of 7th house – 7th house of horoscope is the main house related with marriage. He has Gemini sign there. Its lord is Mercury. So, lord of 7th house is Mercury.
1st house and lord of 1st house - 1st house is Bhavat Bhavam (http://astrosaxena.com/bbhavam) of 7th house of marriage, i.e. another house to look for marriage. He has Sagittarius sign there. Its lord is Jupiter.
8th house and lord of 8th house – 8th house of horoscope is house related with marriage benefits and In-laws. He has Cancer sign there. Its lord is Moon. So, lord of 8th house is Moon.
11th house and lord of 11th house- 11th house is house of fulfilment or manifestation of desires. So, we consider 11th house too for marriage timing. He has Libra sign placed in 11th house. Libra lord is Venus. So, Venus becomes his 11th house lord.
Darakaraka – Darakaraka is planet with the lowest degrees in Birth Chart, except Rahu & Ketu. Darakaraka means Spouse Significator. So, it can give indications about your spouse. For him, it is Mars at 1.55 degree.
So, we got all planets that hold key for your marriage. These are Saturn, Mercury, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Sun and Venus. Besides these, Now, whenever he goes through Mahadasha, Antardasha of these planets, it will bring situations related with his marriage. So, now let's look at his Mahadasha & Antardasha.
Mahadasha & Antardasha (MD/AD) – As we know that our lives move as per dashas we go through, let's check the Vimshottari Dasha period which can bring marriage like situations for him. He is under Jupiter MD from March, 2014 and within it, he is under Saturn AD between April, 2016 to Nov, 2018. Jupiter is natural karaka of marriage and Saturn is also an important planet for his marriage. So, his current dasha is very much supportive of his marriage. Now, the last step of transits.
Transits of Jupiter and Saturn – Now, all major events of our life, like higher education, marriage, child birth etc, depends upon annual transits of Jupiter and Saturn as these two are biggest planets of our solar system.
- Jupiter is transiting his 11th house/Libra till Oct, 2018. It is also transiting over his birth Venus which is karaka of wife and relation.
- Saturn is transiting his 1st house/Sagittarius till Jan, 2020. It is also transiting over his Darakaraka Mars.
- Jupiter-Saturn both aspect his 7th house of relation/marriage. Jupiter also aspects his birth Jupiter and Saturn also aspects his 7th house lord Mercury.
Timings – So, all indications were there that he can get married during this year. This also shows that if we consider any house other than 7th house for 3rd marriage then all these dashas & aspects of Jupiter & Saturn won't work in favor of his relationship. So, it is clear that 7th house is the only house to look for in marriage related matters. Also, event doesn't happen due to one single transit or aspect or dasha or a planetary position. An event is the cumulative result of all the above things.
Hope this helps. Please post any comment or query you may have.

- Attachment and Fusion Inhibitors
- Attachment and Fusion Inhibitors in Development
- Drugs No Longer in Development
Note: Several fact sheets describe drugs that are being tested against HIV:
- Fact Sheet 410: nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (nukes)
- Fact Sheet 430: non-nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs or non-nukes)
- Fact Sheet 440: protease inhibitors
- Fact Sheet 470: other antiretroviral drugs in development
- Fact Sheet 480: immune therapies
These drugs have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use against HIV.
Attachment and Fusion Inhibitors
This is a new class of anti-HIV drugs. They are intended to protect cells from infection by HIV by preventing the virus from attaching to a new cell and breaking through the cell membrane. Researchers hope that these drugs can prevent infection of a cell by either free virus (in the blood) or by contact with an infected cell.
Because digestive acids break them down, most of these drugs are given by injections or intravenous infusion.
Attachment and Fusion Inhibitors in Development
AK602 is a CCR5 blocker being developed by Kumamoto University in Japan. It is in early human trials.
BMS-663068 is an attachment inhibitor that attaches to the CD4 receptor, the first step in attachment. Good results in Phase IIa trials were reported at CROI 2011.
GSK 706769 by ViiV Healthcare is a new CCR5 antagonist in Phase I trials.
HGS004 by Human Genome Sciences, a monoclonal antibody CCR5 blocker, successfully completed a Phase II trial.
Ibalizumab (TNX-355) by TaiMed Biologics blocks the CD4 receptor. It is a genetically engineered drug, a "monoclonal antibody." It is being studied as an intravenous infusion every two or four weeks. It is administered along with antiretroviral medications. No significant side effects have shown up yet. It is in Phase II trials.
INCB 9471 by Incyte Corporation has successfully completed Phase II trials in healthy volunteers. It has shown very good tolerability. However, Incyte will not conduct further studies. It will license the drug to another company and will stop working in HIV.
PF-232798 by ViiV Healthcare is a CCR5 blocker. It is in Phase II trials.
PRO 140 by Progenics is now in Phase II trials. It blocks fusion by binding to a receptor protein on the surface of CD4 cells. PRO140 has been granted fast-track status by the FDA. It is being studied as an intravenous infusion and by subcutaneous injections.
SCH532706 by Schering is in Phase I studies. It is best used as part of a regimen that includes ritonavir where it can be administered once daily.
SP01A by Samaritan Pharmaceuticals is an HIV entry inhibitor in a Phase II trial.
Cenicriviroc (TBR-652) by Tobira Therapeutics (formerly TAK-652 by Takeda) is a CCR5 blocker. It is in Phase II trials.
VCH-286 by ViroChem Pharma is a CCR5 antagonist. A Phase II trial has received regulatory approval.
VIR-576 by Viro Pharmaceuticals showed good results in a Phase I trial. It is very expensive to produce and the present formuilation is administered intravenously.
Drugs No Longer in Development
The following drugs are no longer being developed for use against HIV:
AMD070 (CXCR4 blocker) by AnorMed
AMD3100 (fusion inhibitor) by AnorMed
Aplaviroc (GW873140) by GlaxoSmithKline. Development was suspended due to liver toxicity.
BMS488043 and BMS806 (attachment inhibitors by Bristol-Myers Squibb, replaced by BMS378806
FP21399 (CCR5 blocker) by Fuji Pharmaceuticals
PRO542 is no longer being developed. Instead, Progenics is focusing on PRO140.
T-1249 (fusion inhibitor) by Roche and Trimeris -- development was halted in early 2004.
TAK-652 by Takeda is now being developed by Tobira Therapeutics as TBR-652.
Vicriviroc (SCH417690, formerly called Schering D) was discontinued in 2010.

text: Print OverviewIdiopathic hypersomnia is an uncommon sleep disorder that causes you to be excessively sleepy during the day even after a good night's sleep. It also often causes difficulty waking up after you've been asleep at night or for a nap. Naps generally aren't refreshing. The need to sleep can strike at any time, including when you're driving a car or working, which makes idiopathic hypersomnia potentially dangerous. The condition often develops over weeks to months. Diagnosing idiopathic hypersomnia requires ruling out more common sleep disorders. Treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms with medication.

Supreme Court of Vermont
August 19, 2016
State of Vermontv.Miles Dow
Appeal from Superior Court, Windham Unit, Criminal Division
David Suntag, J.
William H. Sorrell, Attorney General, David Tartter,
Assistant Attorney General, Montpelier, and Tracy Kelly
Shriver, Windham County State's Attorney, Brattleboro,
for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Matthew F. Valerio, Defender General, and Sara Puls,
Appellate Defender, Montpelier, for Defendant-Appellant.
PRESENT: Reiber, C.J., Dooley, Skoglund, Robinson and Eaton,
1. Following an altercation with his wife and an ensuing
conflict with police, defendant was charged with several
counts, related to his conduct both towards his wife and to
the responding police officers. During trial, based on
improper questions from defense counsel, the court declared a
mistrial on all counts involving defendant's wife (the
complainant). The trial continued, and the jury found
defendant guilty of aggravated assault on a law enforcement
officer with a deadly weapon and attempted simple assault by
menace on a law enforcement officer. Defendant appealed,
arguing there was insufficient evidence, the jury
instructions were faulty, and his convictions violated the
Double Jeopardy Clause. Defendant also moved to dismiss the
charges for which a mistrial was granted, arguing that the
grounds for a mistrial were insufficient and jeopardy had
attached. The court denied this motion, but granted
defendant's request to bring an interlocutory appeal. We
have consolidated defendant's direct and interlocutory
appeals. Defendant's aggravated-assault conviction is
affirmed, his simple assault conviction is vacated, and the
court's denial of the motion to dismiss is reversed.
2. The following testimony was presented at trial. Defendant
was angry because he found out that the complainant had
posted a revealing photograph of herself on the internet. On
March 29, 2014, they were arguing and defendant began yelling
and knocking items off of shelves. The complainant was
frightened and called 911. Two police officers came to the
house, and the complainant let them into the kitchen.
Defendant was in a bedroom down the hall. The officers called
to defendant to come out and talk to them. Defendant
responded no and started yelling at them to get out of the
house. One officer testified that defendant's voice was
"aggressive" and in response the officer removed
his Taser. When the officers went down the hallway, defendant
came out with a knife, running down the hallway. One officer
described defendant's weapon as a machete and stated that
defendant was coming down the hall in an angry and determined
manner. The officer stated that defendant had the weapon in
his hand half-raised and he was fearful and felt threatened.
3. One officer drew his firearm, and the two began to look
for cover. They left the house, and defendant followed them
out onto the deck. The officers instructed defendant to drop
the knife, but defendant held onto it and went back into the
house. The complainant was left in the house with defendant,
but exited a few seconds later when defendant went to the
bedroom. Defendant then appeared on the porch. He was angry
and yelling for police to shoot him. Defendant went back
inside and then appeared again with pills and a glass of
water. He took a large number of white pills. Defendant
eventually agreed to come out of the house based on a promise
that he could see the complainant. Police entered the house,
and defendant was taken away by an ambulance.
4. Following this incident, defendant was charged with seven
criminal counts.[1] Five of the charges involved
defendant's actions towards the complainant:
second-degree aggravated domestic assault, reckless
endangerment, interference with access to emergency services,
second-degree unlawful restraint[2], and attempted simple
assault by menace. Two charges related to defendant's
actions towards law enforcement: aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon on a police officer and attempted simple
assault on a police officer by menace.
5. During trial the court granted the State's request for
a mistrial based on defense counsel's questioning of the
complainant during cross-examination. The court concluded
that the questions were not relevant to any issue and were
prejudicial to the State's case. The court determined
that the impact on the jury could not be ascertained and
granted a mistrial on the charges that involved the
credibility of the complainant. The trial proceeded on the
remaining two counts, and the jury returned a guilty verdict
on those counts. Following trial, defendant filed a motion
seeking to bar retrial of the mistried counts, arguing that
jeopardy had attached. The court denied the motion, but
granted defendant's request to bring an interlocutory
6. Defendant now appeals both his convictions and the denial
of his motion to dismiss. As to the convictions, he contends
(1) there was insufficient evidence to support the
convictions; (2) the court erred in instructing the jury; (3)
the court erred in admitting evidence of defendant's
prior bad acts; and (4) the two convictions are for the same
conduct and violate double jeopardy. In his interlocutory
appeal, defendant argues that the court erred in granting a
partial mistrial, as well as that double jeopardy precludes
retrial of the remaining counts.
7. Defendant first argues that the State did not present
sufficient evidence to demonstrate the specific-intent
element required to prove aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon and attempted simple assault. This Court reviews the
denial of a motion for acquittal de novo. State v.
Ellis, 2009 VT 74, ¶ 21, 186 Vt. 232, 979 A.2d
1023. In reviewing whether a motion for acquittal was
properly granted, this Court considers "whether the
evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the
State and excluding any modifying evidence, fairly and
reasonably tends to convince a reasonable trier of fact that
the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."
State v. Turner, 2003 VT 73, ¶ 7, 175 Vt. 595,
830 A.2d 122 (mem.) (quotation omitted). A motion for
judgment of acquittal will be granted "only if the State
has failed to put forth any evidence to substantiate a jury
verdict." Id.
8. Defendant's arguments focus on the specific intent
required for the aggravated- assault and
attempted-simple-assault charges. Defendant was charged with
aggravated assault, which the statute defines as when a
person "is armed with a deadly weapon and threatens to
use the deadly weapon on another person." 13 V.S.A.
§ 1024(a)(5). This is a specific-intent crime, and the
State must prove that "defendant subjectively intended
to threaten the individual with the deadly weapon."
State v. Cahill, 2013 VT 69, ¶ 10, 194 Vt. 335,
80 A.3d 52; see State v. Bourn, 2012 VT 71, ¶
11, 192 Vt. 270, 58 A.3d 236 (explaining that aggravated
assault is specific-intent crime). Similarly, to prove the
intent element of attempted simple assault, 13 V.S.A. §
1028, the State was required to prove defendant intended to
commit the assault. See State v. Devoid, 2010 VT 86,
¶ 10, 188 Vt. 445, 8 A.3d 1076 (explaining that attempt
requires intent to commit crime and overt act to carry out
intent). "Intent is rarely proved by direct evidence; it
must be inferred from a person's acts and proved by
circumstantial evidence." State v. Cole, 150
Vt. 453, 456, 554 A.2d 253, 255 (1988).
9. Defendant moved for a judgment of acquittal at the end of
the State's case and renewed his request in a
post-judgment motion. The court denied the motions,
concluding that the facts were sufficient for the jury to
infer defendant's intent.
10. On appeal, defendant asserts that his intent was to harm
only himself and points to several facts in support. While
some facts could support a finding that defendant harbored an
intent to harm himself at certain times during the incident,
this does not preclude a finding by the jury, based on other
evidence, that defendant also intended to threaten the
officers at the same or at different times during the
incident. Here, the facts when viewed in the light most
favorable to the State are as follows. After the police
officers arrived at defendant's house, defendant was in a
bedroom and yelling at the officers to leave. Defendant then
came running down the hallway towards the officers in a
determined manner. He was carrying a knife, described by one
officer as a machete, and the knife was in a half-raised
position. Defendant was angry, aggressive, and yelling. One
officer was fearful and felt threatened. This circumstantial
evidence, particularly the fact that defendant was angrily
running down the hall towards the officers carrying a knife,
was sufficient for the jury to conclude beyond a reasonable
doubt that defendant acted with the specific intent to
threaten the officers. See Cahill, 2013 VT 69,
¶ 12 (explaining that communication of intent through
actions and surrounding circumstances sufficient to support
Jury Instructions
11. Next, defendant argues that the court erred in
instructing the jury on the intent element of the charges.
The court generally instructed the jury that the State must
prove defendant's mental state beyond a reasonable doubt,
and that this intent could be proven by "circumstantial
evidence." The court explained:
It is not the secret intent of the defendant but that intent
which can be determined from his conduct and all the other
circumstances which surround it; that is, you may consider
all the surrounding facts and circumstances including the
defendant's words and actions, any relevant history in
evidence and determine his mental state by inference from
those surrounding facts and circumstances.
12. On appeal, defendant argues that the court erred by
instructing the jury not to consider defendant's
"secret intent" because in doing so the court
failed to make it clear that the crimes alleged required the
State to prove defendant's subjective specific intent.
"We review jury instructions in their entirety to
determine if they sufficiently guided the jury and did not
have a prejudicial impact on their deliberations."
State v. Jones, 2008 VT 67, ¶ 23, 184 Vt. 150,
955 A.2d 1190.
13. Here, we conclude that the instructions as a whole
"breathe[d] the true spirit and doctrine of the
law" and therefore conclude there are no grounds for
reversal. Id. The instructions, while referring to
defendant's "secret intent, "[3] also provided
detail about the intent elements for both offenses. In those
specific instructions, the court explained that the State was
required to prove defendant's subjective specific intent.
As to the crime of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,
the court explained that the State was required to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt that "the defendant, by words
or actions or both, threatened to use the deadly weapon on a
police officer, " and "intended to threaten the law
enforcement officer." Similarly, for the attempted
simple assault count, the court instructed the jury that the
State had to prove that defendant "intended to, that is,
ha[d] the conscious objective of, making Officer Hammack
afraid he was going to cause Officer Hammack immediate
serious bodily injury."
14. These detailed instructions distinguish this case from
those in which we have concluded the instructions were
insufficient. In State v. Bourn, the trial court
failed to give any instruction requiring "subjective
moral culpability." 2012 VT 71, ¶ 16. In contrast,
here, even though the court did not use the words
"specific intent, " the instruction adequately
explained the required subjective moral culpability by
stating that the jury was required to find defendant actually
intended to threaten the officers. In addition, in State
v. Cahill, this Court reversed based on a jury
instruction that failed to require the jury to determine the
defendant's subjective intent and instead suggested that
the necessary mens rea could be arrived at "by the
objective perception of a reasonable observer." 2013 VT
69, ¶ 19. The court made no reference to an objective
intent that could have confused the jury and led to an
improper evaluation of the intent element. Given the detailed
instructions on the intent requirement, we conclude that the
instructions as a whole provided an accurate statement of the
law. See State v. Dann, 167 Vt. 119, 132, 702 A.2d
105, 113 (1997) (explaining that even if instructions were
not "as well-worded as we or the appellant might desire,
we will not reverse a conviction for error in the
instructions" as long as instructions as a whole
provided "true spirit of the law" and jury was not
15. Defendant also claims that the court erred in failing to
define the element of "threaten" in the jury
instructions. For the aggravated-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon
charge, the court instructed that the State was required to
prove that defendant "threatened to use the deadly
weapon on a police officer." The instructions did not
specifically define "threaten." During the charge
conference, defendant argued that the court should define
threaten as "to express one's intent to harm or kill
someone." The court rejected the suggestion as confusing
because the charge was that defendant intended to threaten
the officer, not that he intended to harm anyone. The court
further expressed that this was not a difficult concept and
no further definition was required. Defendant renewed his
objection to this instruction before the jury retired.
16. We conclude that the court did not err in denying
defendant's request to include his proffered definition
of threaten. In charging the jury, the trial court "has
a duty to avoid confusing the issues by 'over definition,
' particularly when the word in question is one of plain
meaning and may well be understood by its context."
State v. Audette, 128 Vt. 374, 378, 264 A.2d 786,
789 (1970). Therefore, the court "may decline to enlarge
upon or redefine a phrase or a term whose meaning may be
taken to be plain and of common understanding."
Id. at 379, 264 A.2d at 789. Here, the court did not
err in declining to instruct the jury that
"threaten" means "to express one's intent
to harm or kill someone." As the trial court explained,
there was a danger that including the definition proffered by
defendant would confuse the jury as to the element of
Prior Bad Acts
17. Next, defendant claims that the court erred in admitting
prior bad acts of defendant. Prior to trial, the State gave
notice that it intended to introduce into evidence prior bad
acts of defendant, including three prior domestic assault
convictions and threatening statements made to police shortly
before the event. Defendant challenged the admission of any
of this evidence. The court excluded defendant's
statements to law enforcement. As to the prior domestic
assault convictions, the court ruled that that evidence could
be admitted as context evidence to explain the behavior of
both defendant and the complainant, and that they were also
admissible to demonstrate the mental states of defendant and
the complainant in relation to the unlawful-restraint charge.
18. In compliance with this order, at trial, during the
complainant's direct testimony she described two prior
incidents involving defendant. She stated that in 2004 she
was out with friends from work when defendant arrived and
began waving a gun around. He slapped her with enough force
to knock her down. She also stated that in 2008 she got in
the middle of an argument between defendant and their son and
defendant pulled her hair and knocked her over. Police
responded to both incidents.
19. On appeal, defendant claims that the court erred in
admitting this evidence. Under Vermont Rule of Evidence
404(b), evidence of "other crimes, wrongs, or acts"
is not admissible to prove a person's character or
propensity to commit a crime, but can be admitted to prove
"motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan,
knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident."
With allegations of domestic abuse, prior history of abuse
may be admitted to provide "situational context" to
a factual scenario that might otherwise seem
"incongruous and incredible to a jury." State
v. Sanders, 168 Vt. 60, 62, 716 A.2d 11, 13 (1998)
(quotation omitted). The trial court's decision regarding
whether the evidence is relevant under Rule 404(b) and more
probative than prejudicial under Vermont Rule of Evidence 403
is entitled to deference. See State v. Jones, 2008
VT 67, ¶ 14, 184 Vt. 150, 955 A.2d 1190 (stating that
review of court's decision to admit bad-act evidence is
"only for abuse of discretion").
20. On appeal, defendant contends that the evidence was not
admissible for context, and, even if the prior acts were
admissible under Rule 404(b), the evidence should have been
excluded under Rule 403 because its probative value was
outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
21. We need not reach either question because we conclude
that any error in admitting the evidence was harmless. See
V.R.Cr.P. 52(a) ("Any error, defect, irregularity or
variance which does not affect substantial rights shall be
disregarded."). An error is harmless "if, absent
the alleged error, it is clear beyond a reasonable doubt that
the jury would have returned a guilty verdict regardless of
the error." State v. Wright, 154 Vt. 512,
519-20, 581 A.2d 720, 725 (1989) (quotation omitted). The
strength of the offending evidence and of the case absent the
evidence are the two most important factors "employed in
our inquiry." State v. Brooks, 2013 VT 27,
¶ 27, 193 Vt. 461, 70 A.3d 1014.
22. Here, the evidence to which defendant objects had no
evidentiary import to the charges submitted to the jury. The
evidence was about defendant's prior acts towards the
complainant and did not relate to the charges committed
against the officers. In addition, the State did not rely on
this evidence to make its case because the State's case
was sufficiently supported by the testimony of the arresting
officers. Further, because the prior acts in this case were
admitted as relevant to the charges involving the
complainant, and those charges were taken from the jury's
consideration by the mistrial ruling, the court instructed
the jury not to consider the evidence in its
deliberation.[5] In its instructions to the jury, the court
reminded the jury that while it had heard "evidence
regarding the history of the relationship between [defendant]
and [the complainant], " that history was not relevant
to the charges before them. We presume that the jury followed
the court's instruction. Id. ¶ 29 (stating
that jury is presumed to follow court's instructions).
Given that the evidence had little relevance to the charges,
the State's case did not depend on it, and the court
instructed the jury not to consider it, we conclude that any
error in admitting the evidence was harmless beyond a
reasonable doubt. See id. ¶ 30 (concluding that
any error in admitting evidence harmless where evidence of
limited relevance, State's case supported by other
evidence, and jury instructed to limit its use); State v.
Williams, 2010 VT 77, ¶ 16, 188 Vt. 405, 9 A.2d 315
(holding that admission of prior incidents did not cause
unfair prejudice where court specifically instructed jury not
to consider evidence in assessing whether defendant committed
Double Jeopardy of Two Assault Convictions
23. Defendant argues that his convictions for aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon and attempted simple assault by
physical menace violated the Double Jeopardy Clause of the
Federal Constitution. U.S. Const. amend. V.
24. Defendant did not raise this claim in the trial court. On
appeal, the State contends that by failing to raise the issue
below, defendant waived it. The State relies on State v.
Callahan, which cited federal caselaw for the
proposition that a double-jeopardy claim not raised pretrial
or at trial is waived. 155 Vt. 571, 573, 587 A.2d 970, 972
(1991) (citing United States v. Bascaro, 742 F.2d
1335, 1365 (11th Cir. 1984) (holding that double-jeopardy
claim waived when raised for first time on appeal)). Since
Callahan, however, the U.S. Supreme Court has
clarified the difference between
"forfeited-but-reversible error" and
"waiver" of an error. United States v.
Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732-33 (1993). Forfeiture results
from "the failure to make the timely assertion of a
right, " and those errors are reviewed under a
plain-error standard. Id. at 733. Waiver results
from "the intentional relinquishment of abandonment of a
known right" and prevents any appellate review of a
claim under the right. Id. (quotation omitted).
Based on Olano, federal courts have held that where
a defendant simply fails to assert a double-jeopardy claim,
rather than affirmatively waiving it, he has forfeited his
right and his claim is entitled to plain-error review.
United States v. Lewis, 492 F.3d 1219, 1222 (11th
Cir. 2007) (discussing impact of Olano, abrogating
Bascaro, and holding that double-jeopardy claim not
asserted before trial court is forfeited not waived and
defendant is entitled to plain-error review); accord
United States v. Hernandez-Guardado, 228 F.3d 1017,
1028-29 (9th Cir. 2000); United States v. Branham,
97 F.3d 835, 842 (6th Cir. 1996); United States v.
Penny, 60 F.3d 1257, 1261 (7th Cir. 1995).
25. We conclude that defendant's claim was forfeited, not
intentionally waived, and therefore, that we can review the
claim.[6] Because defendant failed to raise it
below, however, our review is for plain error and we will
reverse only if there was an error that seriously affected
substantial rights and had an unfair prejudicial impact on
the outcome of trial. In re Carter, 2004 VT 21,
¶ 21, 176 Vt. 322, 848 A.2d 281.
26. The Double Jeopardy Clause states that no person may
"be subject for the same offence to be twice put in
jeopardy of life or limb." U.S. Const. amend. V. This
provision prohibits subsequent prosecutions for the same
offense and the imposition of multiple punishments for the
same offense. Wiley, 2007 VT 13, ¶ 8. The
Legislature may, however, proscribe conduct by more than one
criminal statute, and it is question of legislative intent
whether a conviction and sentence may be had under each
statute. Id. In evaluating whether two offenses are
the same for double jeopardy purposes, we consider whether
each statutory provision requires proof of a fact that the
other does not. Id. "If this test is not
satisfied, we must presume that the Legislature did not
intend to authorize the imposition of cumulative punishments
for the two offenses." State v. Breed, 2015 VT
43, ¶ 17, 198 Vt. 574, 117 A.3d 829.
27. To prove aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the
State was required to prove that: (1) defendant was armed
with a deadly weapon; (2) he intended to threaten to use that
deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer; and (3) the law
enforcement officer was performing a lawful duty at the time.
To prove the attempted simple assault, the State was required
to prove: (1) defendant intended to put the officer in fear
of imminent serious bodily injury; (2) defendant took
physical action to accomplish his goal; (3) defendant's
actions would have placed the officer in fear of imminent
serious bodily injury if defendant had not been interrupted;
and (4) the police officer was performing a lawful
28. We have held that, as charged and instructed here, simple
assault is a lesser-included offense of aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon. State v. Bolio, 159 Vt. 250,
254, 617 A.2d 885, 887 (1992). A lesser-included offense is
one that is "composed of some, but not all, of the
elements of the greater offense and does not have an element
included in the greater offense." Id. at 252,
617 A.2d at 886 (quotation omitted). Therefore, by definition
a defendant cannot be convicted of both the greater and
lesser-included offenses. The State has presented no reason
why the two convictions in this case do not violate double
jeopardy principles. Therefore, we conclude that conviction
for both offenses violates the Double Jeopardy Clause. We
also conclude that allowing the two convictions to stand
denies defendant a substantial right and is plain error.
29. Defendant asserts that the proper remedy is to vacate the
conviction for the greater offense. Our case law is clear
that the State has the right to choose which charge is to be
dismissed. See State v. Gagne, 2016 VT 68, ¶ 44
n.3, ___ Vt. ___, ___ A.3d ___ ("The State is free to
exercise its prosecutorial discretion to request that we
vacate the greater conviction."); State v.
Cahill, 2013 VT 69, ¶ 22 ("On remand, the
State must move to vacate one of the convictions at its
election."); State v. Rooney, 2011 VT 14,
¶ 34, 189 Vt. 306, 19 A.3d 92 (recognizing that when an
action violates two criminal statutes, State has discretion
to prosecute under either, as long as it does not
"arbitrarily discriminate against an individual or class
of individuals").
30. Here, as in Gagne, the State has "clearly
requested" that, in the event that we determine that
both convictions could not stand, that we affirm the greater
conviction. Gagne, 2016 VT 68, ¶ 44 n.3.
Therefore, we vacate the attempted simple assault conviction.
31. Defendant's next set of arguments involve the
court's decision to grant a partial mistrial on counts
related to the credibility of the complainant. Defendant
contends that the court abused its discretion in granting a
partial mistrial over his objection. He argues that no
mistrial was warranted and that it was further error to
effectively sever the offenses. Finally, he argues that the
court erred in denying his subsequent motion to dismiss.
Factual Background
32. The court's mistrial ruling stemmed from questions
addressed to the complainant. On direct examination, the
complainant testified that during her marriage to defendant,
he had been "a little demanding, very jealous, [and]
kind of controlling, " and she provided examples of some
of this controlling behavior. On cross-examination, defense
counsel sought to introduce an exhibit containing the
complainant's ...

Veteran actor Dilip Kumar's kidneys are not functioning properly and he is being treated for it, a senior official from Lilavati Hospital said on Friday (4).
The actor is off the ventilator and is not on dialysis, he further said.
Kumar was admitted to the hospital in suburban Bandra on Wednesday (2) morning after he suffered from dehydration and urinary tract infection.
There have been reports that the 94-year-old actor is suffering from a renal ailment.
"His kidneys are not functioning properly. We will see what to do next. A team of doctors headed by Dr Nikhil Gokhale is treating him. They will decide what to do next," Lilavati Hospital's vice president Ajay Kumar Pandey said on Friday.
"But otherwise he is normal. He is off the ventilator.
He is not on dialysis. He is under observation because of the age factor," Pandey added.
The actor is under the care of a team of senior doctors, including Dr Jalil Parkar and Dr Gokhale, at the hospital.
Asked if the actor is suffering from renal/kidney failure, Pandey said, "It is too early to give out a statement. He is having kidney issues."
Pandey added that at the moment, no surgery was required.
Earlier, Kumar's wife Saira Banu had said, "We (all) should pray he recovers soon. He should be well Inshallah! (God willing)". The doctors are treating him.

Something magical is happening here at my place VITAL GATE…
It is this deep merging with nature and animal visitors!
These are some of them.
Each one comes with its own unique message!
Always synchronized and very precise.
Do you experience that?
Each of these visitors have a unique archetypal meaning.
Here is how I read them
"I usually make big jumps into the future but right now, I am all about chilling in my comfort zone…"
"I just mutated. The skin that I leave behind is my past and a whole new reality just opened up to me…"
"I mastered the art of flying in the dark, in the shadows…"
"I am new to this reality! I am learning fast and taking risks. I discover life with innocence and playfulness…"
"My nature is pure beauty! My life is pure divine artistic expression…"
What fascinates me is the synchronicity of their appearance with the exact energetic stage I am in…
It's not just random!
I feel like nature and the invisible are actively communicating with me.
It's like nature's way of saying "I see you! We are in resonance!"
What signs do you see?

Social media and the revolution in Egypt
Posted by ashleyfmiller
Originally posted at socialaxcess.com
The revolt in Egypt has shades of the Green Revolution of 2009 in Iran. Like then, the revolution has been supported and promoted by social media like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. Iran cracked down hard, blocking many IP addresses and making the internet so slow that it was difficult to use, but Egypt has gone one better and shut down all internet and cell phone access in and out of the country. No doubt they want to avoid the bad international press and prevent the internet from creating another martyr like Neda.
The protests in Tunisia earlier this month were also organized through social media, to the point that the government was hacking people's Facebook accounts to try to stop it. And it's not only Arab countries that are worried about the impact of these Twitter Revoltionaries, in China the social media results for "egypt" are blocked entirely, to prevent any social unrest there.
President Obama has called for a lift of the ban on the internet and of social media sites in particular.
I also call upon the Egyptian government to reverse the actions that they've taken to interfere with access to the Internet, with cellphone service and to social networks that do so much to connect people in the 21st century.
While there is much to tout about the democratizing power of Twitter, it's hard not to also note that the government is using it to track down and punish people. While Tunisia's dictator was forced to step down and the blogger revolutionaries are hailed as heroes, bloggers from the Green Revolution are still being hanged in Iran.
Social media is a powerful tool, no matter who is using it. The revolutionaries have the advantage of being young and therefore much more familiar with the online world and governments are quickly learning that it's very difficult to have both the internet and restricted communications.

This month, torrent users on uTorrent and BitTorrent have surpassed the 150 million user's mark, as reported by TorrentFreak. This surge of users marks the largest amount of personal file sharing to date, and it looks like the numbers will only grow. This means that uTorrent and BitTorrent have grown a full 50%. It is estimated that there are now 250,000,000 BitTorrent users in the world today. Here's what TorrentFreak had to say:
"Despite massive competition from cyberlockers, BitTorrent continues to expand year after year, and not just by a little. Today, BitTorrent Inc. announced that their two flagship clients increased their user base by 50 percent, to more than 150 million active users a month.
Most growth can be attributed to uTorrent, which more than quadrupled its number of monthly users in the last three years. The 'tiny' BitTorrent client went from 28 million monthly users in December 2008 to 132 million last month.
"This marks an amazing milestone for our company and we want to thank our loyal users and partners for their support. Our protocol and software clients have become some of the most pervasive pieces of technology in Internet history," says BitTorrent Inc. CEO Eric Klinker."

Coronary Artery Calcium: The Cup Is 96% Full

The MESA (Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) study was designed to investigate the prevalence and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis, including that defined by coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning, in an asymptomatic, primary prevention population (1,2). Along with several other large prospective studies, it has established CAC as a strong prognosticator of cardiac events, significantly superior and additive to all risk-factor–based assessments (Framingham, Prospective Cardiovascular Münster, European Society of Cardiology) (1–4). Remarkably, it has not yet been recommended by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines for screening the intermediate-risk population, for which the strongest endorsement has been "it may be reasonable" (5). The persistent criticism has been the absence of randomized studies demonstrating a positive effect of CAC on outcomes (6), notwithstanding a similar absence of outcome data for risk-factor–based assessments that are routinely recommended and for all of the cardiology diagnostic modalities.
The relationship of CAC to significant stenoses has been extensively investigated in symptomatic patients, and the direct relationship of increasing CAC with obstructive disease is well-documented, with a 99% sensitivity for ≥50% stenosis in symptomatic patients referred for angiography (7,8). However, the relatively low specificity of CAC—ranging from 23% for CAC >0 to 79% for CAC >100 (7,8)—has been cited as a major shortcoming, even though CAC scanning was never intended to detect obstructive disease and get patients into the catheterization laboratory; the purpose has always been to detect the early subclinical stages of the disease for which the specificity is virtually 100% and keep patients out of the catheterization laboratory by practicing aggressive prevention.
The remarkably benign prognosis (0.17%/year event rate, including revascularization) (Table 1) of a 0 CAC in the major prospective studies of asymptomatic patients (2–4) is superior to that of nuclear stress testing (9) and stress echocardiography (10). Nonetheless, the occurrence of events subsequent to a 0 CAC has been well documented. Retrospective studies in both older (114 patients, mean age 57 ± 11 years) (11) and younger (102 patients, mean age 41 ± 7 years) (12) populations have yielded a 5% incidence of 0 CAC in those who presented with acute events in both age ranges. More recently, the association of 0 calcium scores with significant obstructive disease has been described in chest pain patients undergoing both computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and catheter-based angiography (13,14). In 688 patients with chest pain syndromes, 125 patients had 0 CAC, 7% of which had ≥50% stenosis (13). In 40 patients admitted with suspected acute coronary syndrome, 13 patients had 0 CAC, and 5 of these (39%) had >50% stenosis (14).
The study by Rosen et al. (15) in this issue of iJACC is the first to prospectively evaluate a very large asymptomatic cohort of individuals with known 0 CAC for obstructive disease. Of 6,814 patients enrolled in the MESA study, 3,563 had 0 CAC. In the first 6 years, 175 underwent coronary angiography after a median interval of 18 months from the CAC scan, 80% for clinical indications (angina, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure), 5% as a direct result of the CT study, and 6% due to a positive stress test. In 7 patients (4%) with ≥75% stenosis, the CAC was 0; 10% to 20% of the vessels with ≥75% stenosis had 0 CAC. Of the 3,563 with a 0 CAC, only 11 (0.3%) had ≥50% stenosis on clinically indicated catheter angiography. The authors concluded: "… the degrees of coronary artery calcified plaque scores predict the severity of coronary stenosis of individual coronary arteries in patients who subsequently require coronary catheterization for clinical indications. Among those individuals who underwent coronary angiography during this time frame due to clinical indication and were found to have significant coronary artery disease, there is a considerable number of patients (10–20%) who had a zero calcium score in the corresponding coronary beds at baseline. Yet, only a minority of them (4%) had a total zero calcium score" (15). This MESA study, by virtue of its prospective design in a large cohort, very likely offers the truest estimate of the incidence of 0 CAC obstructive disease, even though only those 0 CAC patients who underwent clinically indicated coronary angiography were evaluated. The incidence of obstructive disease would very likely have been higher if all patients had undergone angiography. It must be clearly stated that the 10% to 20% prevalence of 0 CAC in arteries with ≥75% stenosis (15) is much less clinically relevant and is misleading, because it was concentrated in only 4% of the patients.
All the same, the 96% negative predictive value in patients presenting with chest pain implies that a 0 CAC does not provide sufficient reassurance. Therefore, CAC scanning is not an appropriate tool for chest pain evaluation. A prior or recent 0 CAC in a symptomatic patient must be followed by additional testing to rule out coronary artery disease with significant stenoses.
It is critical that the results not be misinterpreted as a shortcoming of CAC by extrapolating them to the entire cohort of asymptomatic patients, as the title "Relationship Between Baseline Coronary Calcium Score and Demonstration of Coronary Artery Stenoses During Follow-Up: MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis)" (15) would suggest. The very low incidence (0.3%) of clinically indicated catheter angiography in 3,563 0 CAC asymptomatic patients in the MESA study and the low (4%) occurrence of significant obstruction in the selected symptomatic 0 CAC group (15), almost identical to the 5% previously reported in patients presenting with an acute event (13,14), must be emphasized to hasten rather than further delay the acceptance of CAC scanning.
A strong argument can be made for requiring CAC before stress testing in asymptomatic patients, for whom the Class IIb indication for evaluation of patients with multiple risk factors (16) is commonly applied. A 0 CAC would obviate the need for stress testing, which is associated with a poor positive predictive accuracy in a low-prevalence asymptomatic population, as well as the avoidable normal coronary angiography and attendant costs, morbidity, and mortality. In addition, less aggressive drug therapy would be appropriate for 0 CAC patients. In the current cost-conscious, evidence-based environment, the burden of proof should be on those who choose to use lipid-lowering medications in this remarkably low-risk group; demonstration that drug therapy in the 0 CAC group significantly reduces events below 0.17%/year in a randomized trial should be required. At the other end of the spectrum, CAC identifies the higher risk pool of patients out of which 95% to 96% of the events will emerge; it is this group that will benefit from highly targeted aggressive treatment. As Rosen et al. (15) have demonstrated, "the CAC cup is 96% full."

If you haven't figured it out yet, we're talking about Meek Mill and his rumored breakup with Nicki Minaj. Now Bossip reports that the Philly rhymer has been cheating with a woman named Sonye Princess — who may be the semi-naked mystery woman.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BN3X4HPj0_V/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=7According to the report, he also brought the woman her own boutique, which she now owns and runs.
In addition, the gossip site stated that Meek and the Young Money queen have indeed called it quits, and they're no longer living together. They've even un-followed each other on Instagram.
Sonye Princess's rep (because she has a rep) has since denied that she and the DreamChaser are involved. But that hasn't seemed to remove people's suspicions, and it's unlikely the chatter about Meek cheating will stop anytime soon.

I took on a 12 week bikini body building challenge to tone up my post baby body !
Juggling breast feeding, sleepless nights & finding time for my husband, getting back in shape was a challenge.
Once I got into the swing of motherhood & established a routine, I craved some much needed me time.
As with any kind of quest for a healthy lifestyle, support is a major factor to succeeding. I wanted to achieve a complete lifestyle change, to kick unhealthy eating habits and tone up my body. I decided to look for some expert help !
Through my research I came across a UK based Fitness Coach Michelle Brannan, Michelle is a IFBB Professional Athlete & Founder of UK's number 1 Bikini Fitness training team Showgirl Fitness .
Michelle's had enormous success in her own professional fitness career and in helping people achieve their goals, training all levels of fitness goers from girls & guys preparing to compete for titles, to people like me who want to get to the best possible fitness.
Since 2013 SGF have won 113 top 6 trophies making them the top leading Bikini fitness training team in the Uk!!
The 12 week challenge –
First I took pictures of myself in a bikini & measured my body in inches to send to Michelle, we then exchanged a few emails to discover what I was hoping to achieve, along with all my medical history. A couple of days later [whilst munching away on a margarita pizza] my training plan arrived I was so excited !!!
I was given passwords to access The Show Girl Fitness website, it was a fairly simple website to get to grips with, it helps if you have some computer knowledge.
The website held a wealth of knowledge that Michelle's learned over her career with step by step guide & techniques of all the training.
In signing up I also became part of Show Girls closed Facebook group, where other members openly chat and share their progress,support and motivation for each other.
My personal program was split into monthly plans & constantly changed, leaving me no time to get bored. What I loved about the nutrition plan was that I could choose my favourite foods from a menu while making my own recipes.
I sent Michelle weekly progress pictures, along with measurements of my waist, hips, thighs and bi's. It was like having a personal trainer 24 hours day, with her support and expertise knowledge on hand.
I had a basic knowledge of training which definitely helped. However in the first two weeks of me starting my plan I was counting the reps sequences wrong, meaning I was over training, definitely a little inexperience on my part. Once I messaged Michelle she corrected me. A few girls on the fb page assured me they had done the same so I didn't feel so silly, I was so relieved my work outs weren't going to take two & a half hours long twice a day.
Michelle's disciplined approach and close monitoring help to keep me in check, always supportive regardless of the time of day or night.
The Big Prep !!!
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!!
Although cooking so much food in one go seemed epic, it was so good to have every meal to hand, normally i'd be juggling mummy life where i'd cook for everyone else & forget to eat myself then devour a packet of biscuits. I had to eat every three hours and trained morning and night, so with hubby working away it really helped me to be organised.
Here's a peep into my food diary –
Disclaimer – The food changed regularly & the menu below is just to give an example not the exact plan)
Sunday eve – I put Nova my daughter to bed 7.30pm – I cooked 12 fresh meals which was three days worth of food and arranged into Tupperware pots to pop in the fridge.
11pm– I finished cooking and went to bed !!
Monday –
07.30am – Meal 1 –
09.30 am – Train – Weights 1.5 hours
11.00 am – Post work out shake & banana
12.30 -Meal 2 – Protein veg and fats
3.30 – Meal 3 – Protien Veg and fats
6.30 – Meal 4 – Protein & veg
19.30 – Nova to bed
20.00 – Train / Hiit
21.00 – Protein shake
11 pm – Bed
Once a week I was allowed a cheat meal of my choice, I always wanted chocolate it was hard to control myself and if i'm honest I ended up demolishing half the packet of bickies..Nothing new!! But in my head at least 6 days of the week I was being really good and working hard.
I really enjoyed the challenge, It was hard work and a complete lifestyle change but I'm so happy with the results!!

Since Keyboard Maestro allows you to move & click the mouse at specific locations but does not have an easy way to get the position of the mouse, people have often asked me how to determine screen coordinates.
I have generally recommended either the Pixy widget (which I cannot seem to link to sensibly) or just to use a Move Mouse action and trial and error.
But Leopard introduces an addition to the screen capture command which shows the mouse screen coordinates, so simply press command-shift-4 to start capturing a portion of the screen and Leopard will display the screen coordinates as you move the mouse around. Press the escape key to cancel the screen capture when you are done.

Hi, guys! Hope you are having a good day. I thought I would share the last two cards I made for this month's submission for The Ink Pad NYC design team. I colored the images with Copic markers and dyed the ribbons with the matching marker. As you can see, these are more floral images. All embellishments, images and sentiments were supplied by the store.
I hope you like them. They were fun to make. I am looking forward to seeing what May's theme will be!
Have a great day! Hope you find some time in the day to do something you love!

I'm new to xampp, and have it installed on a Windows 7 machine. Earlier, I was able to at least get the login page for phpMyAdmin, but it was not taking username of "root" and no password, so I changed the username and password in the config.inc.php file, but now I don't even get the login page.
This is the message I get: "phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server."
Also, I changed the config.inc.php.safe file to have the same settings, and took the comment off of the "bind-address="127.0.0.1" in the my.ini file.
I want to make sure that the way I have my virtual host in httpd-vhosts.conf is not the problem (I don't know enough about it to tell):
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName mygrafica.com
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\mygrafica.com">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Thanks in advance!!!

Established in 2000, The Purity Moosic City DairyPure Dash began as a 5K Race and one-mile walk to honor Glenn Wunder, a friend who died of pancreatic cancer. The one-mile walk/run event is now the "Lee Company sponsored Glenn Wunder Mighty Mile." More than 200 young runners under the age of 12 compete to win the coveted Cow Bell award.
"When you see a parent cross the finish line with their child, hugging and cheering, saying, "We did it!" it really touches you on a personal level and reminds us of why our community involvement is at the heart of what we do." – Emily Bonomo, Marketing Coordinator
The inaugural race in 2001 raised $5,000 for the American Cancer Society. Since then, the DairyPure Dash has raised over $850,000 for local nonprofits such as PENCIL, Gilda's Club, Alive Hospice, High Hopes and others! This year's beneficiary was Special Olympics Tennessee who was presented with a check for $130,000.
"We are blown away and thank you just isn't enough to express our gratitude. We are so blessed! It is community partners like Lee Company and Purity's Moosic City DairyPure Dash team that ensure the future success of our organization. Thank you!" – Special Olympics Tennessee
Over the years, the race has evolved by adding the 10K and the "Smitty" 15K races to support the growing number of attendees. Each participant receives a finisher medal and an ice cream treat at the finish line. This year, Bill Lee welcomed runners and introduced those races.
With close to 3,000 participants, the Purity Moosic City DairyPure Dash has become one of Nashville's largest 5/10/15K races that is held in April, two weeks before the St. Jude Nashville Rock 'n' Roll Marathon & 1/2 Marathon. The 2019 race benefactor will be The Jason Foundation held on Saturday, April 13, 2019. We look forward to once again partnering with Purity Dairies on this race and encourage you to join us as a runner, walker or volunteer next year!

I'm part of a small group that consists of members of our Creative Arts team at church, along with some spouses.
Last week, near the end of our group time, one young woman in the group – who grew up in a German missionary family and is learning about American culture through a decidedly Southern lens – posed an interesting question. She asked, "how do you observe the Sabbath in our modern world?" Needless to say, none of us had any easy answers.

Dina Manzo is trying to clear things up in regard to her sister, Caroline Manzo, and Teresa Giudice. Dina posted a message on Facebook where she notes that, "I didn't take any sides," states UsMagazine.com.
"I'm not involved in their drama, I removed myself from all of that a long time ago but somehow still get dragged in," Dina further commented, also adding that Teresa has nothing to do with her relationship with her sister, Caroline.
The second part of the reunion show will apparently show Teresa and Caroline fighting in regard to Dina and their relationships with her.
