DUI Manslaughter in California
By: Maria Palma
In the state of California vehicular manslaughter is considered a crime of negligently driving a vehicle and causing the death of another person. You could also receive a vehicular manslaughter charge if there was a death of a passenger in your own car that was caused while breaking the law.
There are many consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs depending on the severity of the incident. If you did not cause harm or injury to a passenger or another driver, the penalties are not as great as accidents in which someone is hurt or killed.
A DUI related fatality can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony drunk driving offense depending on factors that will be determined by your defense attorney. If the offense involved gross negligence that resulted in death of a pedestrian, motorist, passenger, or bicyclist, there's the possibility that it will be charged as a felony. It is not considered a homicide because there was no intent to kill another person.
Generally speaking, if you are convicted of DUI manslaughter in California, you could be sentenced to jail for up to four years, or, if gross negligence or extreme recklessness is proven, up to 10 years in a state prison may be handed down as punishment. Other penalties include extended periods of probation and a criminal record that can limit your choices of career and employment.
Keep in mind that when you do drink and drive, there's always that possibility of causing death or injury to another person.

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafeDark Matter - Chocolate eLiquid.
Dark Matter tastes like German Chocolate Cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German Chocolate Cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Majestic Chocolate Icings, Fillings, and more:
The simplest icing is a glacé icing, containing icing sugar and water. This can be flavored and colored as desired, for example by using lemon juice in place of the water. More complicated icings can be made by beating fat into icing sugar (as in butter cream), by melting fat and sugar together, by using egg whites (as in royal icing), and by adding other ingredients such as glycerin (as in fondant). Some icings can be made from combinations of sugar and cream cheeses, or by using ground almonds (as in marzipan).
Marbled Fudge
2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/4 a cup of glucose (pure corn syrup), 1-1/2 cups of cream, 1 tablespoonful of butter, 2 squares of Baker's Chocolate, scraped fine or melted, 2 teaspoonfuls of vanilla.
Stir the sugar, glucose and cream over a slack fire until the sugar is melted; move the saucepan to a hotter part of the range and continue stirring until the mixture boils, then let boil, stirring every three or four minutes very gently, until the thermometer registers 236° F., or, till a soft ball can be formed in cold water. Remove from the fire and pour one-half of the mixture over the chocolate. Set both dishes on a cake rack, or on something that will allow the air to circulate below the dishes. When the mixture cools a little, get some one to beat one dish of the fudge; add a teaspoonful of vanilla to each dish, and beat until thick and slightly grainy, then put the mixture in a pan, lined with waxed paper, first a little of one and then of the other, to give a marbled effect. When nearly cold turn from the pan, peel off the paper and cut into cubes.
