There is, therefore, an urgent need to bring into existence an arms control regime to regulate the development, acquisition, deployment, and use of armed tele-operated and autonomous robotic weapons. We hold that this regime should prohibit:
- Further development, acquisition, deployment, and use of armed autonomous robot weapons.
- Arming new kinds of autonomous or tele-operated systems with nuclear weapons.
- The development, deployment, and use of robotic space weapons.
We hold that this regime should restrict:
- The range and payload of armed tele-operated uninhabited vehicles.
- The number, by class and capability, of armed tele-operated uninhabited systems fielded by any state.
- The endurance of these systems.
- The development, acquisition, and deployment of weaponised uninhabited systems below a minimum size.
The expert Workshop was organised by the International Committee for Robot Arms Control (ICRAC) and Physics & Disarmament, Experimentelle Physik III, Technische Universität Dortmund with funding from the German Foundation for Peace Research (DSF) and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (York, UK).

Contemporary knowledge about God, Evolution, and the meaning of human life.Methodology of spiritual development.
Bhagavad Gita/Conversation 7. Yoga of Profound Knowledge
Lord Krishna said:
7:1. Listen, O Partha, how, being directed with your mind to Me and practicing Yoga under My guidance, you can come to the ultimate cognition of Me.
7:2. I am going to reveal to you the knowledge and wisdom in all their fullness. After knowing them you will have nothing to learn more.
7:3. Among thousands of people, scarcely one strives for Perfection. And among those striving, only a few come to know My Essence.
7:4. Earth, water, fire, air, akasha*, mind, consciousness, and individual "I" — all this is what exists in the world of My prakriti, eight in total.
7:5. This is My lower nature. Know also, O mighty-armed, My higher nature, Which is that Element of Life thanks to Which the whole world is sustained.
7:6. It is the womb of everything existing. I am the Source of the (manifest) universe, and it disappears in Me!
7:7. There is nothing superior to Me! Everything is threaded on Me like stringed pearls!
7:8. I am the taste of water, O Kaunteya. I am the shining of the Moon and the light of the Sun, and Pranava*, and Universal Knowledge, and the Cosmic Voice, and humanity in people.
7:9. I am the pure scent of earth and the warmth of fire! I am the life of all the living and the exploits of spiritual warriors!
7:10. Try to cognize in Me the Primal Essence of all beings, O Partha! I am the Consciousness of all those who have developed the consciousness, I am the splendor of all the beautiful!
7:11. I am the strength of the strong who are devoid of attachments and sexual passions! I am the sexual power* in all beings that does not contradict dharma, O lord of the Bharatas!
7:12. Know that sattva, rajas, and tamas originate from Me. But understand that they are in Me, not I in them!
7:13. The entire world deluded by the properties of the three gunas does not know Me — Eternal, existing beyond these gunas.
7:14. Verily, it is hard to overcome My maya formed by the gunas! Only they who approach Me transcend it.
7:15. They who do evil are ignorant, the worst among men — they do not come to Me: the maya deprives them of wisdom, and they become demons.
7:16. There are four types of righteous men worshipping Me, O Arjuna: desiring to free themselves from suffering, aspiring to knowledge, seeking personal achievements, and the wise.
7:17. Among them, superior to the three others is the wise, even-minded and devoted to Me completely. Verily, I am dear to the wise and the wise are dear to Me!
7:18. All of them are worthy! But I deem the wise to be alike to Me! Because merging with the Atman, the wise cognize Me — their Supreme Goal!
7:19. At the end of many births, the wise man comes to Me. "Vasudeva is Everything!*" says the one of rare Mahatma's qualities.
7:20. Those deprived of wisdom by desires worship "gods" and perform rituals, which correspond to their nature.
7:21. Whatever image people worship with faith — I strengthen the faith of everyone.
7:22. Imbued with this faith, they pray — and receive what they ask from the same source. But the command to give the asked originates from Me.
7:23. Verily, ephemeral is the gain of the ignorant: they who worship "gods" go to these "gods", and they who love Me go to Me!
7:24. The ignorant deem Me, Unmanifest, achieved manifestation* knowing not about My unlimited, eternal, and supreme Existence.
7:25. Not everyone cognizes Me, concealed in My creative maya. The mistaken world does not know Me — Unborn, Eternal!
7:26. I know the past, the present, and the future Creations, O Arjuna, but no one here knows Me!
7:27. Due to wandering in duality because of the attraction and distraction (to earthly objects), O Bharata, all (newly) born beings live in ignorance!
7:28. But righteous people, who have rooted out their vices, become free from this duality and resolutely go towards Me!
7:29. Seeking refuge in Me, they long for liberation from birth and death. They come to the knowledge of the Atman, to the realization of the Atman for themselves, to understanding of the principles of destiny formation.
7:30. And they who cognize Me as the Highest Existence, as Supreme God Who receives all sacrifices — they, devoted to Me, meet Me at the moment of departure from the body!
Thus in the Upanishads of the blessed Bhagavad Gita, the Science of Eternal, the Scripture of Yoga, says the seventh conversation between Shri Krishna and Arjuna, entitled:

The nutty, fun-loving starlet who hosts all her naked antics and shenanigans on Almond Tease is a sexy gal who loves to share all her daily adventures with you. Her strip shows and kissing parties with gal pals will have you on the edge of your seat, panting for more.
You'll love the sweet taste of AlmondTease in all her nude and barely clothed shoots. She doesn't have a gigantic site, but her collection features gorgeous photos and videos of this sweet Japanese treat who will certainly titillate, but might not satisfy some who want a bigger collection.
There isn't much in this small collection, but these bite-sized bits of almond are of a rare caliber indeed. There are eight sensual videos, each one a dazzling dose of a delightful Japanese doll who loves to strip, stroke herself into wild orgasms, make out with her sexy gal pals and generally leave you wishing there was more Almond Joy out there for you to take in.
There hasn't been a new video added in a few months, but the existing scenes are extra yummy and will make you hungry for as much of this delectably sweet gal as you can find. When this Japanese princess has a few friends over, they all play with thick dildos together. They giggle and tease the camera and soon all of them enjoy each other's orgasmic moans. You certainly will too and since they're available for download in great-looking Windows Media and MPEG format, you'll want to pick up every crumb from this sexy starlet.
Almond has another side to her that comes out in her 20 sets of high-res photos featuring this delicious dame in various scenes. She might be studying for a big final with her gal pal and decide to take a naked study break, or maybe on her hands and knees, scrubbing a kitchen floor in the nude - well, you wouldn't want her to get her fancy clothes dirty, would you? No matter what kind of action Almond dreams up, she brings it through with style.
You already know that this small collection is growing very slowly, but there are some good bonuses that make the standard admission fee more palatable. Check out the sensual babes on Leash Sex, Vixen X, Like Legs and more. Not all of them star delightful Almond or her compatriots and most have a different focus than beautiful Japanese babes, but if you're into more than one type of hardcore fucking, you might enjoy what's on this menu.
Almond Joy is a great starlet who loves to pose, play, strip, stroke, fuck herself with dildos and more. It's just a shame that she can't be portrayed on a bigger, even better website that updates more often.

Killarney woman wins top stylist award
AFTER nine days of intense online voting, Killarney model scout Norma O'Donoghue has been voted Ireland's top stylist by readers of RSVP magazine.
Seeing off competition from famous celebrity stylists like Brendan Courtney, Sonja Lennon, Marietta Doran and Cathy O'Connor, Norma (pictured right) ran away with the title, claiming a massive 35 per cent of the vote - her nearest rival being Marietta Doran on 12 per cent.
The model agency owner has described the win as truly amazing, adding that she was happy enough to be nominated, let alone win.
"It's an amazing accolade to be associated with, never mind actually winning. RSVP is one of the leading magazines in the country and I'm delighted and proud to be associated with them," she said. "Thank you so so much to all who voted, sent kind messages and supported me in not only this but in everything I've done to date. It's truly been unbelievable, with people ringing, texting, e mailing and coming up to me on the street saying they had voted.
"The whole experience has been quite humbling. It's like winning the All-Ireland Final."

2007 Acura TSX Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Great Price for a Way Above Average Car
By PeterG on
Vehicle2007 Acura TSX 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
ReviewAll the features I wanted stepping into an entry Luxury Sedan and more that I never thought about. I thought, based on the price of the car, why not go for the additional nav. system and complete the package.
Best FeaturesSeats, handling, ride, blue tooth, sat. radio, voice recognition (never touched the LCD screen). Smooth engine that never complains and never feels strained. It just purrs. Smooth 6 speed manual that again never complains or fights back. The car just seems to say, okay, let's do it. Cool for a sedan.
Worst FeaturesExterior is a bit plain, but apparently it was not plain enough to stop me from purchasing it. Not more horsepower, but the ability to get to those horses at a slightly lower RPM. I say slightly lower, because I do love the high rev purring sound this engine makes.

Parks & Recreation Employees help a Cyclotourist get back on the Road
November 20, 2015
ALBUQUERQUE - Today, Mayor Richard J. Berry awarded two Parks and Recreation Employees that helped a touring bicyclist who was struck by a car. Luckily, the bicyclist was not injured but his bike was severely damaged.
On the morning of September 16th , Kim Nazemi, a tourist from Germany, was traveling through Albuquerque on a bike trip on Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. Nazemi made a wrong turn onto I-40 and was hit by a vehicle. Nazemi was able to walk away from the crash with only scratches and bruises but his bike was immobile.
An officer with the Albuquerque Police Department quickly arrived on scene to check on Nazemi's health and file a report. The officer then brought Nazemi to the City of Albuquerque's Esperanza Bicycle Safety Education Center where he was greeted by Ryan Harris, Youth Education Specialist, and Hugh Hulse, Adult Bicycle Educator.
Harris and Hulse began to assess parts of the bike that were broken beyond repair. They were able to find replacement parts from donated bicycle supplies and were able to repair the bike. After a short three hour delay, Nazemi was able to get back on his bike and continue his journey across the country. The German cyclotourist was also educated on New Mexico's terrain and was given extra water to complete his trip without dehydrating.
"We were glad to be able to help Kim get up and running again, and would like everyone to know that Esperanza is here to help you fix or maintain your bike," said Hugh Hulse "Our doors are open to everyone."
Ryan Harris and Hugh Hulse are the City of Albuquerque's Employee of the Week for their services to not only the citizens of Albuquerque but to the guests and visitors of the City as well.
Esperanza Bicycle Safety Education Center is a great resource to any cyclist who visits or lives in the City of Albuquerque. As a non-retail bike center, Esperanza provides many resources to the Albuquerque biking community with an emphasis on bike safety and education. The center welcomes donations of bicycle parts, so they can service anyone else in need.

Skip to comments.Obama & Clinton - Accomplices to Murder???
Posted on 02/15/2014 9:56:29 AM PST by LD JacksonEdited on 02/15/2014 11:17:09 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
The Benghazi murders have more twists and turns than a roller coaster the one thing and most important thing about the massacres of our four brave Americans is this: the two key people in our Government, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in charge. Theres no negotiating on that fact it was their duty and responsibility to do whatever it takes to protect Americans whether its on our turf or a foreign turf.
(Excerpt) Read more at ldjackson.net ...
They do share in common many things, corruption, incompetence, ineptitude, demagoguery, glibness, stupidity, poor impulse control and an overriding evil.
Benghazi was the result of the Chicago Mafia trying to embarrass the Dixie Mafia using the Muslim Brotherhood.
I agree completely. Both are guilty in not protection the four Americans when they were informed of the possible pending attack. The evidence is without doubt so I feel they were part of the conspiracy to commit murder.
Both are power-hungry, consciousless partners of jihadists - both brought Muslim Brotherhood strategists to be their closest advisors. Obama has a group of them showing up every day at the White House to advise him. Hillary Clinton had while Secretary of State and still has to this day the Muslim Brotherhood operative Huma Abedin as her closest advisor and confidente. Congressmen and women should start the legal process of trying these two, Obama and Hillary for treason.
Closet commies have no scruples and care not who dies should they cross their paths.
I can only guess what is protecting Clinton and Obama from each other is their shared hatred for each other. I wish I knew what dirt one has on the other that keeps this couple silent.
Expedia can book a flight from Tampa to Benghazi that takes LESS than 14 hours....
Exactly. They are both guilty.

•I know that everyone deserves a little honeymoon time in their new appointment, but for me the soft words lightly tripping from Michael D Higgins's little lips, peppered with his cupla focal, weighted by his pause and sway are like the wooden instruments of the bards of old: a trifle hollow and not holding much uisce, mar a deirthear. And so, aptly, to verse:
"The teletublian grandeur of his language would make Myles weep.
Despite fawning journalists supping from his tiny teat.

Every year brings dozens of new quirky findings about how to be more effective, whether in managing our time, being more creative or just getting things done. Here are some of the highlights from 2012.
Via donhornsby
Kenneth Mikkelsen's insight:
This is a fine recap of the latest insights and research in this field. Good work from David Rock, who is the founder of the Neuro Leadership Institute. I had the pleasure of talking to David a few years ago for an article about the influence of neuro science in our modern business world.
donhornsby's curator insight, December 28, 2012 9:22 PM
(From the article): We live in a time when where more people are staying connected on vacations. People have forgotten how important it is for your mind to rejuvenate. Research shows that naps improve productivity—a growing body of evidence shows that taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves productivity and creativity — and that skipping breaks can lead to stress and exhaustion.
Kenneth Mikkelsen's comment, December 29, 2012 4:54 AM
Thanks for making me aware of this blog post, Don. Happy holiday season to you. Best, Kenneth

Interior of Santa Costanza
Factual Information:
From: Rome, Italy
Period: 337-351
Period: 337-351
General Information:
Santa Costanza is a 4th century church in Rome, Italy. The interior of the church draws much of its inspiration and looks from earlier Roman buildings and architecture. The columns, for example, directly draw from a roman heritage. The church survives in essentially its original form and is a prime example of early Christian art and architecture.
Why This Artwork?
This artwork was chosen to show christian architecture, and how it was so similar to normal roman architecture at the time. This allows a glimpse into who was becoming Christians at the time, as we can clearly see that the people who had the same values in what made a building beautiful in Rome, were being converted into Christians.

Mark Colvin presents PM Monday to Friday from 5:10pm on Radio National and 6:10pm on ABC Local Radio. Join Mark for the latest current affairs, wrapping the major stories of each day.
Friday 18 May 2007
PM covers a broad spectrum of issues relevant to all sections of Australia's geographically and culturally diverse community. It looks behind political, economic, industrial, business, social, cultural, rural, regional and arts stories. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
The Government still won't say how much it intends to spend, but this weekend, expect to be hit with the latest round of ads on its Workplace laws. The Coalition has already used $5 million of taxpayer's money to run its WorkChoices campaign, but with the pundits saying it's lost that PR war, it's now planning another series of commercials with a complete re-packaging of its industrial relations overhaul. The Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey says the ads will be simple and without spin, a claim that's been ridiculed by the Opposition.
Qantas shareholders and unions have wanted heads to roll ever since the failed takeover bid for the airline. And today they got their wish with not one but two resignations from the Board. Chairman Margaret Jackson was the prize scalp, but this afternoon came the announcement that James Packer would also step down in November. Shareholders seem satisfied with the blood-letting, as well as the decision by Chief Executive Geoff Dixon to stay on until mid-2009. At the same time there's fresh speculation today that Airline Partners Australia might be setting their sights on a new target, British Airways.
James Packer's departure from Qantas may give him more time to look after the affairs of Channel Nine. A lot of industry watchers think the network needs some attention, and today the view was underlined when the Channel's Chief Executive Eddie Maguire got the chop. He was a shock appointment a little more than a year ago, now he's gone because of poor ratings and an inability to slash enough fat from the Network's struggling bottom line. But "Eddie Everywhere" will still be popping up on the station he no longer runs, as Simon Santow reports.
In the New South Wales outback town of Bourke, where local irrigators have had no water allocations for the last two years, things have taken a big turn for the better. Just last week, we brought you the story of Ian Cole of Darling Farms, and how this year's crop of oranges was dumped, because the property hadn't had enough rain. What a difference a week makes. The town's had some of the highest rainfall out of the current band moving across the eastern seaboard, with levels not seen since 1999.
There seems to be no end in sight to the battle over super-fast broadband. Yesterday, the competition watchdog rejected an appeal by Telstra against a ruling on access prices for its copper wire network. In response, Telstra said the decision would further delay its plan to spend more than $4-billion building a fibre-based broadband network. The Opposition leader Kevin Rudd has made broadband an election issue, by promising to help pay the cost of a speed upgrade from the Future Fund. But some towns in regional Australia are sick of waiting, so they're setting up their own networks.
The ACT Government has come under fire over a statue of the former Federal Multiculturalism Minister, the late Al Grassby. Mr Grassby was one of the most colourful and controversial figures in 1970s Australian politics. As Immigration Minister in the Whitlam Government from 1972 to 1974, Al Grassby was credited with introducing the policy of multiculturalism to Australia. But his treatment of the alleged mafia involvement in the killing of anti-drugs campaigner Donald Mackay in 1977 incensed Mackay's family. Today the Mackay family criticised the ACT Government for turning a blind eye to Al Grassby's alleged links to organised crime.
The ABC lost a lot of friends today among the blind, the partially sighted, and people with literacy problems when it decided to close down its audiobook arm. ABC Commercial says it's cut ABC Audio because it's not turning a profit. Vision Australia, a non-profit organisation, says the service is so vital that it will do all it can to ensure the ABC keeps producing audiobooks.
The case of the disappearing honeybees continues to stump scientists. Earlier this month we reported on the collapse of more than a quarter of the United States' honey bee colonies, and the export of Australian bees to help deal with the pollination of US crops. But now there are fears that the mysterious "colony collapse disorder" could be about to affect bees in Australia.
A woman who was attacked by a shark while carrying her small child described the ordeal today. Becky Cooke was walking in shallow water on a remote beach near Coral Bay, on the north-west coast of Western Australia, when the shark sank it's teeth into her leg. Mrs Cooke has now had surgery in a Perth Hospital and faces the prospect of more operations to avoid losing her foot. She was holding one son and walking with another when the attack occurred.

YOH! Keisha is deep! Ok, lemme start from the beginning. Dave East got played by some dime he pulled over for on the street. Nc nc nc. You can't trust anybody no more. I can't help but feel like Keisha's a professional robber what with her good looks and seemingly rehearsed life story. I love how captivating this video is. You're attentively letting the lyrics guide you as you follow the visuals through every detail. Dave's been putting in that work of late leading up to his new album Kairi Chanel dropping on the 30th of September. Can't wait. It's always interesting to tuck into a new full body of work from an artist.

Why settle for anyone, when you can find someone with eHarmony?
Over 58,000 registered users in Merseyside; see who you'll be matched with today
Join for free and discover your matches.
Yes it may well be 'The World Capital of Pop,' home to the cathedral with the world's largest bells and the Northern Capital of Culture, but Liverpool is not the only gem in the Merseyside crown. Bootle, Birkenhead and Prescot all have their own charms, especially if you know where to look. More often than not, it's as much in the people as anything else, because Merseyside retains a warmth and sense of humour almost unrivalled in England.
At the same time, any successful urban area has a lot of people working hard to keep it that way, and there are plenty of working and/or professional singles out there who for one reason or another finding themselves without a partner and are lacking the time to change that. It's no surprise that the Merseyside dating site is so popular - it's a great way to get to know people in your spare time before you devote a whole evening to a fantastic dinner.
eHarmony is a dating website with a difference, because it recognises that not all singles are the same, and so endeavours to get to know you, and what you're looking for, through an extensive questionnaire. After that, the site compares the results, and matches you up with the most compatible Merseyside singles out there so that you have a list of only the best quality potential dates. It all goes towards a better evening of romance, and, often enough, a successful and grounded relationship.
Once you've filled in eHarmony's questionnaire, you're free to review matches, so why not give it a ago and see who we have for you? Merseyside dating will never be the same again!
If you're dating in Merseyside and want to impress your partner-to-be with something a little off the beaten track, try out some of these ideas:
It consists of some of England's most extensive sand dunes and stretches for 12 miles between Southport and Waterloo, ending at Crosby Beach. If you or one of your eligible matches are nature enthusiasts, a date here is an absolute must. If you have a couple of hours to spare, either after work or maybe at the weekend, for busy professional singles , there's an inter-station walk (details found online) which passes through ancient woodland that's sure to inspire. If you plan the walk to coincide with an idyllic summers evening, you'll find yourselves surrounded by a sublime sunset too– the perfect backdrop to any romantic date.
If you can't stand the thought of another tedious round of after-work drinks, or a middle-of-the-road dinner romance leaves you uninspired, why not plan something a little more outrageous with this exhilarating electronic shooting game in Southport? Think of it as a gentler paintball, without the bruising! Try to 'outlive' each other in this massive outdoor arena, hiding behind bunkers, in forts, sniper positions, buildings and hideaways. It's certainly a unique Merseyside dating idea – one that your date won't forget in a hurry.
Lost for something to do on a hot summer's day? Then why not head to Wirral Country Park to pick up that tan? Straddling the boarder of Merseyside and Cheshire it spans lush parkland, intricate walking trails and idyllic pebble beaches. Bring along a picnic, a few beers, and a football and you're set for the day. It's an effortlessly simple free dating idea which will give you and your new flame all the time in the world to get to know one another in gorgeous surroundings. If you fancy something a little more active, the park is also popular among cyclists, and there's plenty of potential for a spot of impromptu frisbee or badminton games.

GARY and Sylvia Roberts feel lucky when they think about what could have happened.
Any other night of the week their two granddaughters, aged seven and six months, would have been asleep downstairs, tucked up in their beds in the home overlooking Bombo Beach.
But when the gale-force winds struck Kiama about 3am on Sunday, ripping off the ceiling to the girls' rooms and one side of the brick house, they were visiting family in Penrith.
"We're unlucky but we're very lucky," Sylvia said, surrounded by chunks of ceiling, plaster, insulation and broken glass.
"Her bedhead was against that wall," she said pointing to the gaping hole where a wall used to be, now offering a bird's eye view of the surf below.
"Even if they didn't get hurt, the fear of what happened would have been devastating.
"The fact that my granddaughter wasn't here, we weren't hurt - it would have been terrifying if we were here. But these things can be fixed, even though we're not insured, but that's not important."
Had they been home, Gary said, there was every chance his grandchildren would not have survived the night.
"It could have been the roof falling in, or with all the turbulence they could have been sucked up," he told AAP amid the debris of his home of 16 years.
"When I came home and saw the extent of the damage, I was really shocked."
The couple also count themselves lucky, along with the family's budgie Tweetie, who survived a hail of glass and a pet python found floating in a water filled tank.
"It had been turned into an aquarium," Sylvia joked.
"There's all this glass, all blown in, Gary found a shard embedded in the wall. We could have been stabbed by flying glass.
"We just don't want any more weather damage so we can preserve what we do have left."
Bruce Elder, who lives on one of the town's worst hit streets, says locals have never seen anything like the storm that damaged at least 170 homes in the small seaside town.
"It was absolutely all the cliches: it started out sounding like a freight train, the best way to describe it is, take a really, really strong wind and then multiply it by ten and you only start to get an idea of what it was like," he told AAP.
"The whole house shook, then it lifted - and to think we were on the edge of it."
Mr Elder said he and his wife counted themselves "extremely lucky" after suffering only one broken window courtesy of the neighbour's balcony, which "decided to go for a wander".
"There was this wall of water and then an enormous sound as the balcony slammed into the side of the house," he told AAP.
"The house next door is decimated."

Ethan and Shima's Vail, Colorado wedding is an incredible reminder that you don't need all the fussy details to have a fantastic wedding. Their story and wedding give their marriage the perfect stage to shine. Plus, it sure does help to have those snowy Vail mountains as their backdrop.
From the Photographer, Danielle:
Shima was a sophomore fashion student when she began training as a hostess at Romano's Grill in Franklin, TN on August 5th 2008. Ethan was a Civil Engineering student and had been a server there for about a year before Shima had started. Shima and Ethan spotted each other immediately however Shima had promised herself to not date anyone at work and had made a pact with herself to not date until she was out of school.
Ethan had always been kind of a hopeless romantic, sure to meet the love of his life at some point however Romano's Grill seemed to be the last place he would find it.
Their love was planted when Shima dropped a tray of food and Ethan comforted her and helped her pick it up. Then throughout the next few weeks they got to know each other at the hostess stand. Finally, August 29th 2008, Ethan found the courage to ask Shima out for drinks with coworkers. After that they were just inseparable.
Ethan called Shima's mother when she was out of the country and asked for her blessing to marry Shima. On November 27th 2009 Ethan took her up the mountains of Colorado and asked for her hand in marriage. Two years later they exchanged vows overlooking the Colorado Rockies in Vail.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE)- The University of New Mexico first year women's basketball coach Mike Bradbury has signed a class of five. Bradbury's first class at UNM is ranked 28th in the country by Blue Star Basketball.
In a statement about his recruiting class, Bradbury said, "This signing class will ignite the future success of our program and get Lobo women's basketball back to the level our great fans deserve. We are excited to welcome these five nationally–ranked recruits to the Lobo family.This is one of the deepest and most talented classes I've signed in my 26 years of Division I.

One of the contestants in the maiden edition of the MTN Project Fame West Africa music reality show, Ijeoma Okwara, has been nominated for the Hip Hop World Awards in the Best Female Vocal Performance category.
Okwara was among the initial 18 contestants admitted into the academy during Season 1 of the TV reality show. But she was evicted after only two performances in front of the judges and television viewers nationwide.
This time, Okwara's song, Olomi, will need valuable votes from the general public and the final decision of the judges at the awards event to win in a contest that involves Tiwa Savage's Love Me, Love Me, Waje's Na The Way, and Project Fame Season 3 winner Chidinma's Kedike.
An excited Okwara describes her nomination as the product of hard work and determination. She says, "I believe in hard work and perseverance. The little time that I spent in the Project Fame Academy actually made me more determined to rise above all odds. Now I am convinced that Nigerians truly appreciate good music, regardless of the genre.
"I feel honoured and special to be singled out among many talented artistes. I love to win and of course, I expect to win because I never go into anything with the intention to fail. And I thank God for the talent and the beautiful people who have supported me this far."

Sara Michelle Lansing, 49, is a second-generation Australian born in Loxton in the South Australian Riverland. The family moved to Adelaide in 1970 where her father worked in the whitegoods industry.
Always interested in writing and art, Sara was a middling student when it came to maths, though found an aptitude for science and mechanics. She briefly attended university in a period of late-teenage confusion before joining the Royal Australian Army. Women in the military were still a contentious issue in Australia in the early-mid 1980s, and her tour was unremarkable in the broader scheme of things, a period which she has preferred to put behind her in all practical ways other than the gifts of practicality and forthrightness that have marked her career since then, and which she freely acknowledges as products of the system.
Sara worked in journalism in the 1980s for regional papers and freelanced for magazines on topics as diverse as photography, conservation, popular science and diving. A qualified scuba diver and marksman, Sara brought these skills to her early novels, indeed her fannish output in the 80s and 90s strongly reflects her military experience in terms of procedure and hardware.
A lifetime fan of science fiction, fantasy and adventure, Sara has found a literary outlet for these passions and since entering semi-retirement to care for an aged relative she has had the time to write, developing ideas which have lain fallow sometimes for decades. Sara identifies as essentially bisexual, which in her words, gives her "the best of all possible worlds," and also allows her the personal perspective to write both straight and F/F narratives with equal conviction.
Unmarried, Sara shares her writing studio with two dogs, loves folk music and good food, pursues a fascination with the occult and all things pagan, and relaxes with chai tea after a good workout three times each week.

Unanswered: more on VSS and editing db?
Hi there,
We have a 2003 ms access db that has multiple users 24 hours a day. There are two developers and changes being made all the time to the front end which is on a server.
The ONLY reason we need visual source safe (IF AT ALL...see below) is to be able to make changes even though not in it exclusively. We used to be able to do this with access 97 but not since we upgraded. We get the message: you do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed to make chagnes, you may not be able to save them later"
And we never can even if someone is not even in that particular form.
It says: use microsoft visual sourcesafe add-in for microsoft office access"
Is this JUST an addin or do I need the software? I'm not sure what to do and I don't think we need all of the features of the full version.
Could someone advise the best way or where to get what we need?

Spawning technique
Try this:
I developed a spawning technique to copy an Access file with the users name attached to it.
We use MDE's and a "spawning" technique which works quite well. Below is a sample vbs script for spawning a database with the users name added to the MDE file.

Vijaya Dashami, Dussehra, Vidyarambham- each part of India celebrates the day in a different way. No matter how it is celebrated or what it is called, it is dedicated to the triumph of good over evil. The festival brings with it hope of a better future and a lot of gaiety and excitement.
The legends say that the day is celebrated as Dussehra to commemorate the occasion of Rama's victory over Ravana. In the eastern parts of India, it is celebrated as the day on which Durga Devi killed Mahishasura. In Kerala, Goddess Sarasvati is honoured by observing Vidyarambham.

West Bengal
Vijaya Dashami is one of the most important festivals of West Bengal. Pandals are built in which beautifully decorated idols of Durga, Ganesh, Kartik, Lakshmi and Saraswati are worshiped. On the tenth day of Durga Pooja, the idols are taken out in a grand procession with loud music and dancing. The idols are then immersed in a water body nearby. The immersion is to signify the return of the Goddess to her husband, Lord Shiva.
Married women here play with vermilion in a ritual called Sindur Khela. The ritual can be seen only in West Bengal.
Himachal Pradesh
The Day is cerebrated as Dussehra at Kullu in Himavhal Pradesh. It is celebrated in the Dhalpur Maidan in the Kullu Valley. On the tenth day of the rising moon, the celebrations of Dussehra starts and then goes on for seven more days.
16 Awesome Recipes For Navratri Fasting
The history of the celebration can be traced to the 17th century. King Jagat Singh installed an idol of the God Raghunath on the throne as a way of penance. And the God Raghunath was declared as the ruling diety of the area.

Vijaya Dashami is the grand end to the Navaratri celebration in Karnataka. The Dussehra celebrations at Mysore needs to have a special mention. The whole city is lit up with lights and colour.
The main deity of the state, Goddess Chamundeshwari, is worshiped and carried through the city on a decked elephant (Ambari). The grand procession starts from the Mysore Palace to the Banni Mantapa.
Navaratri is the most important festival of Gujarat. People gather in huge numbers and perform the Garba, the folk dance of Gujarat. Joy and excitement fills the air as men and women sway to the tunes of traditional songs. Worship of the Goddess starts all the festivities on the day.
In Kerala, the day is celebrated as Vidyarambham, which translates into the 'beginning of education'. The Goddess Saraswati is worshiped and students take her blessings for success in all their endeavors. Little children are made to write their first words on this day to mark the beginning of a lifetime of learning.

Picture: Dane Bowers with a pint of Guinness as he performs a DJ set at the Dandelion Bar Dublin, Ireland - 30.10.09
British singer Dane Bowers is nursing a bruised ego after he was kicked out of his ex Katie Price's New Year's Eve (31Dec09) party for brawling with the model's new boyfriend.
The former Another Level boyband member was attending a bash thrown by Price, aka Jordan, at her home in Surrey, south east England when he clashed with cage fighter Alex Reid.
The fight reportedly started after Bowers accused Reid of using the former glamour model for her money.
A source says, "They were both drunk on champagne and Dane kicked off accusing Alex of... having no job and cashing in on her name.
"Dane called Katie a stupid b**ch for letting Alex walk all over her and told everyone he had always been Katie's true love. That wound Alex up into a horrendous rage and he launched at Dane screaming, 'She's my girlfriend now, not yours'.
"They started scrapping on the floor in front of guests. It was like they were sparring for her love."
A spokesman for Price confirmed there had been a brawl but played down the incident and insisted, "The party was a great success."

New York: anniversary of Popularum Progressio marked at UN
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin, Ireland, gave an address at the United Nations headquarters in New York to mark the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Pope Paul VI's Encyclical "Populorum Progressio." Archbishop Martin began his talk by recalling how "it was the challenge of addressing the needs of the poorest nations and their peoples which led the Pope to write his Encyclical." "Populorum Progressio," said the archbishop, was "the first social Encyclical to be written after Vatican Council II, an event which had among its aims that of establishing a new way of looking at the relationship between the Church and the world." "Authentic development is one of the key concepts of 'Populorum Progressio'," he continued, indicating that such a concept "also touches on the very nature of the human person and the response we need to make to his or her needs." "Were Pope Paul here with us today he would certainly be saying thanks to all those who have given themselves in the service of humanity within the UN system. He would surely also certainly be making remarks on the slow progress of UN reform. We need a well-functioning UN. Today's possibilities for inter-connectivity among peoples offer new and innovative ways of cooperation, also within the UN system." "In talking about responsibility for development and of international cooperation," said Archbishop Martin, "the Encyclical "consistently stresses the role of public authorities. This recalls today's debate about both good governance and the important role of politics." "Politics," he concluded, "is an essential dimension of the construction of society. We need around the world a new revival of politics. Around the world we need a new generation of politicians inspired by ideals, but also capable of taking the risks involved in transmitting those ideals into the 'possible,' through the optimum use of resources and talents to foster the good of all."

Daily News readers sound off about the May election.
Having spent six years on city council, I know what is required to fully execute the duties of being a representative of the residents of Galveston. It takes someone who can listen to all sides of an issue and filter though the emotions to get to the facts. He needs to determine what course of action is best for all of the citizens of Galveston, just not those in one district.
The primary responsibility of a council member is to make sure our residents are safe and secure. This is done by making sure we have a strong police and fire presence, along with having a functioning balanced budget. Council members are there to set policy, while the professional city manger manages the overall operations of the city. I know that David Hoover has the talent, experience and the ability to make sure the city is run in both an efficient and functioning manner.
I hope you will help me support Hoover in his race for District 4 and cast your vote for him.

Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter: We are ready for second shot at Livingston in IRN-BRU Cup
Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter says his players will relish another crack at the IRN-BRU Cup — even if it does give him a fixture headache.
The Crues have been handed a rematch with Livingston at Seaview next Tuesday night after the Scottish side admitted fielding an ineligible player in their 2-1 victory earlier this month.
Livingston won the October 7 battle but Alan Lithgow was supposed to be suspended, and the club have also been fined £4,000.
With Crusaders taking on Glentoran in the County Antrim Shield at The Oval tonight (7.45pm) ahead of a Danske Bank Premiership blockbuster against Linfield at Windsor Park on Saturday, this additional contest makes it a busy competitive calendar on the Shore Road.
Some supporters will feel that the punishment doesn't go far enough and that the West Lothian club should be booted out of the tournament with the Crues progressing to a match against Welsh side The New Saints in the quarter-finals on November 13, but Baxter isn't jumping up and down in fury as the tournament, which has featured Welsh and Irish sides for the first time, is not high up on his or the club's priority list.
"It's a bit of a surreal one for us as we were knocked out of this tournament and now we find ourselves back in it," said the Crues boss.
"We will have another go at it but it has come at an important period of the season for us and we have a massive game against Linfield to focus on this weekend. You could argue it's another game we could do without because there is always the possibility of us sustaining more injuries, like we did in the first game.
"It's hard to get your head around what has happened but a decision has been made and we will respect it. When you enter a competition you have respect for its rules and the authorities have determined that the game should be replayed.
"Now that we are back in the competition we have been given another opportunity to progress so the players will give it a go but I'll have to use the squad wisely and make the necessary changes. We have four or five injuries and you don't want to have too many.
"I don't feel disappointed that Livingston were not removed from the competition as it's not a priority for me.
"Our minds are focused on a very important game against Linfield and we will just abide by the rules of this other competition.
"Perhaps some teams in Scotland may take a different view than ourselves but we had a brilliant game of football in the first match and hopefully we can give them a good game again."
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said yesterday: "In the interests of sporting integrity and fairness to both sides, the game will be replayed."
A sub-committee of the SPFL board charged Livingston for playing Lithgow while he was ineligible as he was under a Scottish FA suspension at the time.
The defender started the game at Seaview and played the full 90 minutes of the fourth-round clash. Livingston had pleaded guilty to a breach of the SPFL regulations.
The club issued a statement which read: "Livingston FC has accepted the SPFL's decision and feel this is a fair outcome.
"The Board, Operational Committee and Management team apologise for what was a genuine misinterpretation of the rules and thank our loyal fans for their continued support."
On the domestic front, the Crues can book a place in the semi-finals of the County Antrim Shield with a win over Glentoran at The Oval tonight and striker Jordan Owens is expecting a titanic battle.
"It'll be a difficult game because The Oval is always a tough place to go," said Owens.
"There might be a few changes in the team with one eye on Saturday."

There is, but there should not be. A few people abuse these programs and that cast a stigma on all people. Someone could be dress very nicely. The wife could be wearing diamond ring. The car could be fairly new and the husband could be out of work, with two children at home and they are going through their savings, selling assets and doing everything possible to survive. Keeping the diamond ring, which may be a family heirloom may be the last resort. They could need welfare assistance or food stamps until they are back on their feet..

I personally receive food stamps. I am a single mother of 3 and do not receive child support for my children. I am currently going to school so I can provide the life for them that they deserve. It's so funny because I have no income other than school loans, but having a clean, well dressed family is important to me. I certainly don't want to raise my children to think that taking care of yourself isn't important. So, obviously, this question is always somewhat on my mind when I go to get groceries.. or even to use WIC. What do people think? Because I'm dressed nice, because my kids are dressed nice... that maybe I'm abusing the system? What if they think the opposite? What if they think that I'm lazy and I'm just one of those single Moms who, instead of doing something to make a life for my kids, just lets society take care of me. I've been a single Mom for 10 years... and up until a year ago, when I left my job to go back to school, *I* have provided for my family. I have always had a job and paid my taxes and did my civic duty. Why should I care what others think?! This question frustrates me, only because there IS a stigma and it's NOT fair. *Steps off soap box*

I agree with Larry-- there is but there should not be.
First, while I don't know if all states are the same, people here who are "on welfare" are required to either be actively looking for a job, in a job-training program, or attending school.
Second, plenty of people who receive food stamps are gainfully-employed.

State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Clarence Peter Kjeseth, Appellant.Annotate this Case
Download PDF
STATE OF MINNESOTA IN COURT OF APPEALS A12-1012 State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Clarence Peter Kjeseth, Appellant. Filed April 8, 2013 Affirmed Halbrooks, Judge Swift County District Court File No. 76-CR-11-208 Lori Swanson, Attorney General, St. Paul, Minnesota; and Robin W. Finke, Swift County Attorney, Harry D. Hohman, Assistant County Attorney, Benson, Minnesota (for respondent) David W. Merchant, Chief Appellate Public Defender, Sharon E. Jacks, Assistant Public Defender, St. Paul, Minnesota (for appellant) Considered and decided by Halbrooks, Presiding Judge; Larkin, Judge; and Huspeni, Judge. SYLLABUS 1. Felony test refusal is a predicate offense for first-degree driving while impaired (DWI), Minn. Stat. § 169A.24 (2010). Retired judge of the Minnesota Court of Appeals, serving by appointment pursuant to Minn. Const. art. VI, § 10. 2. A prior felony conviction of impaired driving or test refusal that is used to enhance a violation of Minn. Stat. § 169A.20 (2010) must be included in the offender s criminal-history score. OPINION HALBROOKS, Judge On appeal from his convictions of first-degree DWI for impaired driving, firstdegree DWI for test refusal, and fleeing a police officer, appellant argues that the district court s jury instruction on the enhancement element of first-degree DWI was based on an erroneous view of the law because it allowed his current violations of the DWI statute to be enhanced by a prior felony conviction of test refusal. In the alternative, appellant argues that his sentence should be reduced because the district court erred by including the prior felony conviction that was used for enhancement in his criminal-history score. Because the first-degree DWI statute, Minn. Stat. § 169A.24, defines as predicate offenses a felony under this section, therefore including both impaired-driving and testrefusal felony offenses, we hold that a prior felony conviction of test refusal can be used to enhance a subsequent violation of the DWI statute to a first-degree offense. And because the sentencing guidelines require that prior felonies used for enhancement be included in an offender s criminal-history score, we affirm appellant s sentence. FACTS In 2004, appellant Clarence Peter Kjeseth was charged with first-degree DWI for impaired driving and first-degree DWI for test refusal. Those incidents were charged as first-degree offenses based on four prior qualified impaired driving incidents from 2 1999 to 2001. Kjeseth pleaded guilty to first-degree DWI for test refusal, and the other charge was dismissed. In 2011, Kjeseth was charged with first-degree DWI for impaired driving in violation of Minn. Stat. §§ 169A.20, subd. 1(1), .24; first-degree DWI for test refusal in violation of Minn. Stat. §§ 169A.20, subd. 2, .24; and fleeing a peace officer in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.487, subd. 6 (2010). The two DWI violations were charged as firstdegree offenses based on Kjeseth s 2004 felony DWI. Kjeseth pleaded not guilty to all three counts and went to trial. After the close of evidence, the district court proposed a jury instruction on the applicable enhancement element of first-degree DWI that asked the jury to determine whether Kjeseth had a previous felony conviction for DWI or refusal to submit to testing. Defense counsel objected to that instruction, arguing that the legislature did not mean that refusal to submit to testing [be] included in [section 169A.24] and noting that the CRIMJIG on first-degree DWI enhancement refers only to impaired-driving priors. The district court recognized that its proposed instruction deviated from the CRIMJIG, but explained that the CRIMJIG doesn t include everything that is within [section 169A.24]. At the close of trial, the district court instructed the jury that if they found Kjeseth guilty of either the impaired-driving or test-refusal charge they must answer the additional question on their verdict form: Did the defendant have a previous felony conviction for driving while impaired or refusal to submit to testing. The jury found Kjeseth guilty on all counts and answered yes to the question of whether he had a prior felony conviction for impaired driving or test refusal. Before 3 sentencing, probation calculated Kjeseth s criminal-history score to be five, a score that included 1.5 points for his 2004 conviction. The district court sentenced Kjeseth to 66 months in prison, the presumptive sentence for felony DWI by an offender with a criminal-history score of five. See Minn. Sent. Guidelines Grid 2010. This appeal follows. ISSUES I. Did the district court abuse its discretion by denying Kjeseth s request to instruct the jury on the prior felony-enhancement element of first-degree DWI by using the CRIMJIG? II. Did the district court sentence Kjeseth based on an erroneous criminal-history score? ANALYSIS I. The district court has broad discretion in determining jury instructions and we will not reverse in the absence of abuse of discretion. Hilligoss v. Cargill, Inc., 649 N.W.2d 142, 147 (Minn. 2002). We review the district court s jury instructions to determine whether they fairly and adequately explain the law. State v. Vance, 734 N.W.2d 650, 656 (Minn. 2007), overruled on other grounds by State v. Fleck, 810 N.W.2d 303 (Minn. 2012). Jury instructions must define the crime charged and explain the elements of the offense to the jury. Id. An instruction that materially misstates the law constitutes error. State v. Kuhnau, 622 N.W.2d 552, 556 (Minn. 2001). In order to determine the accuracy of the district court s instructions, it is necessary that we establish the elements of the DWI statutes at issue. See State v. Pendleton, 567 N.W.2d 265, 268 4 (Minn. 1997). Whether the district court has properly construed the elements of a statute is a question of law, which we review de novo. See State v. Pearson, 633 N.W.2d 81, 83 (Minn. App. 2001). Minnesota s DWI statute makes it a crime to drive motor vehicles, motorboats, snowmobiles, and off-highway motorcycles while impaired or to refuse to submit to a chemical test of one s blood, breath, or urine. Minn. Stat. § 169A.20. A person violating the DWI statute is sentenced under one of four separate penalty statutes: section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), 169A.25 (second-degree driving while impaired), 169A.26 (third-degree driving while impaired), or 169A.27 (fourth-degree driving while impaired). Id., subd. 3. First-degree DWI is a felony offense. Id.; Minn. Stat. § 169A.24, subd. 2. Second-degree and third-degree DWIs are gross misdemeanors and fourth-degree DWI is a misdemeanor. Minn. Stat. §§ 169A.25, .26, .27 (2010). A violation of section 169A.20 is a first-degree offense if one of three conditions is met: [T]he person: (1) commits the violation within ten years of the first of three or more qualified prior impaired driving incidents; (2) has previously been convicted of a felony under this section; or (3) has previously been convicted of a felony under section 609.21 . . . . Minn. Stat. § 169A.24, subd. 1. The second enhancement provision enhancement by prior felony DWI is at issue in this case. Kjeseth argues that the district court s jury instruction on the prior felonyenhancement element was based on an erroneous view of the law. On this element, the district court asked the jury to decide whether Kjeseth had a previous felony conviction 5 of DWI or refusal to submit to testing.1 Kjeseth asserts that only a prior felony impaireddriving offense not a prior test refusal can support a conviction under the first-degree DWI statute. Whether the district court s instruction on the first-degree enhancement element fairly explains the governing law of the case, therefore, requires us to determine whether felony test refusal is a predicate offense for first-degree DWI. We necessarily turn to the language of the first-degree DWI statute, Minn. Stat. § 169A.24. Section 169A.24 provides that a violation of the DWI statute results in a felony conviction if the offender has previously been convicted of a felony under this section. Id., subd. 1(2). We detect no ambiguity in this statutory language or its meaning. If a statute is unambiguous, then we must apply the statute s plain meaning. Larson v. State, 790 N.W.2d 700, 703 (Minn. 2010). The statutory language expressly provides for enhancement of a violation of section 169A.20 by a felony under this section this is, any prior first-degree DWI. The statute does not limit felony predicates to only impaired-driving offenses. According to the plain meaning of the first-degree statute, felony impaired driving and felony test refusal are both first-degree DWI predicate offenses. Having determined that section 169A.24 provides for enhancement by a prior felony test refusal, we address Kjeseth s argument that the statutory structure of section 169A.20, the DWI statute, creates confusion as to what prior convictions may be used for first-degree enhancement. Kjeseth asserts that because the DWI statute proscribes four 1 The CRIMJIG for this enhancement element asks the jury to determine: Did the defendant have a previous felony conviction for driving while impaired? 10A Minnesota Practice, CRIMJIG 29.22 (Supp. 2012). 6 types of impaired driving in addition to test refusal, it is ambiguous whether felony test refusal is a first-degree DWI predicate. We disagree. We discern nothing unclear about what conduct is prohibited under the DWI statute and to what penalty provisions those violations are subject. Kjeseth cites one case to support his theory that only felony DWI based on impaired driving can enhance a subsequent offense. See State v. Smoot, 737 N.W.2d 849 (Minn. App. 2007), review denied (Minn. Nov. 21, 2007). But Smoot is not relevant to our inquiry because the issue in that case was whether felony DWI could serve as a predicate offense for felony murder. Id. at 851. Not only is Smoot off-point, it does nothing to alter the enhancement elements of first-degree DWI. Because it is undisputed that Kjeseth was convicted in 2004 of a felony under section 169A.24, his current conviction was properly enhanced. And because the firstdegree DWI statute treats all prior convictions under section 169A.24 as predicate offenses and makes no qualification whatsoever for felony test-refusal crimes the district court s instruction on the first-degree enhancement element was in accordance with the law. As a result, the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to follow the CRIMJIG on the prior felony-enhancement element of first-degree DWI. Consequent to our ruling, we reiterate the district court s sound observation that the CRIMJIG on the prior felony-enhancement element of first-degree DWI does not encompass the breadth of section 169A.24. Because it fails to account for both types of conduct impaired driving and test refusal that give rise to a prior felony under section 169A.24, the CRIMJIG is incomplete. 7 II. Kjeseth alternatively argues that his sentence is based on an incorrect criminalhistory score because it includes points for his 2004 DWI conviction. He contends that this conviction cannot be used to both enhance his current offense and to increase his criminal-history score. We review the district court s determination of a defendant s criminal-history score for abuse of discretion. State v. Stillday, 646 N.W.2d 557, 561 (Minn. App. 2002), review denied (Minn. Aug. 20, 2002). But construction of the sentencing guidelines is a question of law, which we review de novo. State v. Maurstad, 733 N.W.2d 141, 148 (Minn. 2007). Under the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, prior misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor convictions that enhance an offense to a felony may not be used to calculate an offender s criminal-history score, except to determine custody status. Minn. Sent. Guidelines II.B.6 (2010). But [p]rior felony offenses used for enhancement shall always be used in calculating the offender s criminal history score. Id. The guidelines further provide: If the current offense is a felony DWI offense and the offender has a prior felony DWI offense, the prior felony DWI shall be used in computing the criminal history score, but the prior misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor offenses used to enhance the prior felony DWI cannot be used in the offender s criminal history. Id. (emphasis added). It is without dispute that the guidelines mandate the inclusion of Kjeseth s 2004 felony DWI in his criminal-history score even though it was used to enhance his current 8 offense. Kjeseth argues, however, that the guidelines in this respect conflict with the holding of State v. Zeimet, 696 N.W.2d 791 (Minn. 2005). But in Zeimet, the supreme court addressed enhancement under subdivision 1(1) of the first-degree DWI statute the provision governing enhancement based on qualified priors and limited the extent to which qualified priors could be included in a criminal-history score if used for enhancement. 696 N.W.2d at 794, 797. Unlike this case, none of the predicate offenses at issue in Zeimet were felony offenses. Id. at 793 n.1.
